>From what I can gather from another PPP program I use (on another OS), it
uses PAP.  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.

Thanks,

Leonard
