However, in order to get it to work, I had to modify the code to force PacketMode. I am not yet certain whether this is a bug in the code or not. Some notes to add for ppp.conf, ppp.linkup; probably should be listed under bugs: An empty line (one without a # comment mark) effectively marks the end of a section. openmode may be set to either active or passive. However, it only takes effect for dialup connections; if user ppp is started using the -dedicated or -direct flags, openmode is ignored. -- Gary Aitken garya@ics.com (business) garya@dreamchaser.org (personal)
