I have followed the tutorial (which is excellent, by the way) through most of the steps and so far, all seems to be working fine. I can't, however, get the -alias switch to work when I start ppp. When "ppp -auto -alias demand" is typed, ppp comes up with the statement, "Usage: ppp [-auto | -direct | -dedicated] [system]". Is there an updated version of ppp for 2.1.7 which would allow aliasing, am I missing a line in a configuration file, or, [gulp] do I need to upgrade to 2.2? If anyone has a solution, please let me know. Thanks to all who have helped me out with my previous questions. It's great to be able to reach such a dedicated group of volunteers whenever these questions arise. Take Care, Andrew Stevens.
