Hi --

I'm trying to follow the MANUAL dialing procedure described in
the ppp man page to establish a ppp connection with my ISP.
I'm able to get the peer connection as indicated by the
capitalized PPP in the prompt.  I then do a show ipcp and am
advised:

    My address: 10.0.1.2/0
    His address: 0.0.0.0/0

I'm assuming that these IP addresses have something to do
with dynamic IP addressing or something like that.  Anyway,
at this point I do:

    add 0 0 0.0.0.0

More because that's what the instructions say than anything
else.  It doesn't work.  I'm not able to ping other sites on
the net, etc.  Could someone please tell me what I should be
doing when I get to the add step.  TIA for any input

     ... doug
