BUT you gotta beware of "delete ALL" and setup up your routes first, during boot, as in: ifconfig tun0 inet 198.138.38.205 198.138.38.21 netmask 255.255.255.0 route add default 198.138.38.205 then in /etc/rc.local get ppp going and active /usr/sbin/ppp -auto atinc /sbin/ping -c 10 198.138.38.21 ONLY THEN do you start X. i use xdm ;) Jonathan M.
