I have run tcpdump -i tun0 > dump.log as a test to see what shows up but the log remains empty yet ppp calls out. I have tried it without the -alias switch thinking that it might be one of my other machines trying to call out, but the same thing happens. Is there another way to see what is calling ppp to dial out? Is ppp suppoed to do this? I thought with the -auto mode, only when something wants a ppp connetion does it dial out, then after timeout (or I kill it) will the connection drop, then it waits for the next request. Thanks, Keith
