I can get it going, and all is perfectly correct, except I can't get a default route to my isp going. My machine, journey2.mat.net. is 205.252.122.116, static. The isp isd mat.net, and the machine I ppp to is earth.mat.net, at 205.252.122.1. The end of my ppp.conf entry is: set ifaddr 205.252.122.116 205.252.122.1 255.255.255.0 the ppp.linkup entry is: matppp: delete ALL add 0 0 205.252.122.1 How come I always have to add the default routing entry via a route command? It's never done for me, but I duplicate the entry in the man page just exactly. This is _not_ auto, btw. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 3.0 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
