Seems strange to me. I remember having worked with 2.0.5, and have never seen that. Oh well. > >Is ppp0/1 the kernel PPP, and tun part of the User-PPP?? >-Brill > Afaik, ppp0 is the device compiled into the kernel for use with kernel ppp. Tunnel devices are used with the userland ppp. I'm not sure why this is so. Perhaps the rfc's shed some light on it. When using pppd - the daemon ppp/kernel ppp - I just compiled the pppx devices in my kernel. I didn't even set them up right. They obviously get configured properly by pppd, using the options.cuaax parameters. Oh, and please do send all the emails on the subject. It's going to be a hell of a job, but I'm prepared to transform them in something comprehensive... Gul
