Hi all
I am making headway,
I have discovered how to use manual ppp & term
If I do
$ ppp ISP
PPP on smmc2>term
atdt713421
it dials out & I get a terminal connection
Question...
how do I get it to dial out on demand from say a ping ??

Interestingly if I do 
$ ppp
PPP on smmc2> dial ISP
no dial out occurs!
The phone number etc is stored in ppp.conf  ISP: so I would have 
thought it might...maybe I have o idea what I  am doing here?

I tried 
$ ppp -auto ISP

but it gave me an error asking for dstaddr or such ???

help?
