Sorry about all the ppp questions, but I couldn't get a straight answer
from the mailing list archives or from PPP Tutorial.

I am setting up ppp -auto for an on-demand dial setup.  I can start ppp
cincy (my isp) and then "dial", and ppp works fine.  But I cannot get
the ppp -auto to dial.  It just sits there.  If I ping/telnet/lynx/etc.
I get the "No route" message.  

netstat -rn returns only the localhost (127.0.0.1) line.

I'm not good at shell scripts, which is what I read many people use
instead of ppp -auto, so if anyone has one I could use, please send it!

I've tried as many "set ifaddr" lines as I can find in the list
archives, as well as "route add default 206.173.96.3" (Which is one of
my ISP's IPs;  They vary from .2 to .6).

Any suggestions?  My ppp.conf is attached below.

Patrick

P.S.  PPP dial works, since that's how I'm sending this message.  Thanks
to all who have helped.
