Exactly....

I never did! but I will.... Other that "un-hooking" ppp from IP addresses
and having it use tun0 only, I'm in "high-cotton", cuz once I kill the ppp
PID, I can now telnet/ftp from my win95 box to the FBSD one. ;))
There should be a way to set thingd up on the FBSD side so that if I want
to dial out to your system e.g. (on which you have given me a temp. shell
account) I can do so; AND have Samba do it's thing across my LAN with no
interference from ppp/tun0. Am I correct in assuming this possibility?

I checked that as well....no joy.

I'll be searching the 'net for a solution. Thanks!
