Guys, this isn't a "problem" for me. I'll just use slip until the next Bay or freebsd upgrade comes along or until I change providers (whichever comes first). The reasons why I have a static IP address are numerous and not relevant. This is a compatibility issue between a Bay release and seems to be unique to freebsd pppd. Bay claims the freebsd crew screwed up. I thought you might like to know. If I am wrong on either assumption please accept my sincere apologies. I'm a user, not a developer (or even programmer for that matter). BTW: I brought this up in -questions first and tried the suggestions. - JoeB ----- End of forwarded message from jwb@fore.com ----- @-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-@ Joe Beiter FORE Systems, Inc. jwb@fore.com Network Integration Services (412)772-6585
