One essential peice of infomation is missing from the ppp transaction = "HISADDR" the GW . As ppp handles the dhcp side of things internally, would anyone like to = suggest a way of getting the server to reveal its address. To date I have tried running dhclient after the linkup, telling the ISP = he had a small inconsistancy, and got a ear full of abuse for that. As this provider "Telstra AU" is the only provider of this service I = can't change. So I need to work around there problem. Regards John
