I have read a couple of other similar posts reporting problems. Brian Somers, maintainer of user PPP, offered some suggestions to me via email to no avail. It still fails in exactly the same way. I would like to know once and for all: has ANYBODY got this working? If it is not possible then I need to find another solution. (I read somewhere Linux supports an SSH based VPN over PPP but I have not got any details yet.) -- David May | mailto:mayd@cygnus.uwa.edu.au | Finger for | finger:mayd@cygnus.uwa.edu.au | PGP Public Key | http://cygnus.uwa.edu.au/~mayd | ``We are so used to thinking in terms of the `progress' of science that it is hard for us to remember that certain matters were better understood one hundred years ago.''
