Umm, if the line drops to your net connection, you have no route to host. This sounds like the correct response. > I can't find any way to get auto-dialing to work properly.

Hmm, I didn't have any problems with it working when I tested it, although I wasn't happy with it locking up at times and dropping the connection. Since I needed something that worked 'all' the time, I am now using kernel ppp, and I've not had any problems. Someone (Mike Smith?) sent me some example scripts which helped me setup auto-login with kernel mode stuff, and I haven't had any problems since. > Killing ppp also has the side-effect of killing the X server. This makes > it a real pain to use. That's strange. I've not seen either of these problems. If you want I can try and help you debug it if you send me (privately) your ppp configuration files. Also, are you using internal/external modems? Nate
