Ah, the version in -current is essentially the same :-/ I've been doing a lot of work recently on ppp in the MP branch. It's getting to a reasonable stable state now, but I noticed lots of stuff while I was there - the select() stuff is quite different now, and the -current version leaves lots of room for errors (it's possible for example that the modem file descriptor is closed after it's added to the FD_SET and before the select() is done - producing the sort of error you mentioned). It won't be long now before the MP branch stuff gets rolled back into -current - I think it works client-side, but I can't test 'till I get it working server-side :-) I would have though the best way to do the client-side dial back is to have a ppp.linkup that says annex: quit all That way, once authentication is complete, ppp quits. This works in the MP branch, but I suspect the command may be ignored in the -current version :-( You could always do a quick fix to the QuitCommand() function in command.c.... > Thanks for your help! > > Cheers, > -- > Jos Backus _/ _/_/_/ "Reliability means never > _/ _/ _/ having to say you're sorry." > _/ _/_/_/ -- D.
