I've been w/o computer for 3 days now 'cause I moved this weekend, so sorry for not replying sooner. Alot of people have trouble with the lqr. Does it drop after 15 minutes of in-activity or just 15 minutes no matter what? And yes you are correct about the gateway enable in /etc/rc.conf, and also you do need to set the BSD machine as the default gateway on the windows machines. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Young [SMTP:young@richardson.apana.org.au] > Sent: Sunday, August 29, 1999 9:26 AM > To: Christopher Michaels > Subject: Re: Unable to connect via ppp (was: Modem Issues) > > I've got PPP working now with help from a ppp config > script I found at http://flag.blackened.net .....
