BTW, I have NIC installed. Ppp tries to figure out the MAC address of the interface with the current value of MYADDR. MYADDR defaults to `hostname`. If you've done a ``set ifaddr'' or if `hostname` isn't in your NICs netmask, ppp won't match it. So, ppp should normally find your NIC if you use ``set enddisc'' before ``set ifaddr''. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
