Hey Folks,
Two questions.

I use the following dial up script for ppp:

#!/bin/sh
pppd /dev/cuaa0 115200 connect 'chat -f /etc/ppp/dial.chat' &

How would I configure it to echo something like
Connection completed. Your IP address is: $$


2nd question:
I run the following to kill pppd:
#!/bin/sh
echo "Killing pppd, please wait."
cat /var/run/ppp0.pid | xargs kill


It works fine except I have the feeling that I'm missing
something here. It seems too easy. netstat -rn and ifconfig -a
show the kill is complete and everything is flushed. If anyone
has a good script, I'd love to hear it.

rgds,
Anthony
