The program also indicates that it has PFC as an LCP option (although I'm not too sure exactly what that means). The ISP also runs VJ compression over the link. I was able to finally get the link working ok from PPP (the parity was set wrong), but unfortunately I still can't get my conf file to auto-dial for me. The system also doesn't seem to be able to find the DNS. I looked in the host.conf file, but can't seem to find a place to put the IP address. What I would like to try to get setup is have PPP dialup whenever a packet needs to be sent out over the internet from a program such as ping or ftp. My ppp.conf and ppp.linkup files are below. They are mainly derived from the samples.
