The first part should be readable text, while the remaining parts are likely unreadable without MIME-aware tools. ---902635197-838218655-1274305928=:61595 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; format=flowed; charset=US-ASCII There are some omissions and errors in the user PPP chapter, and it looks like it could stand some serious updating. In "PPP and Dynamic IP Addresses", line 17 is shown as set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255 Yet the description says "The last argument (0.0.0.0) tells PPP to start negotiations using address 0.0.0.0 rather than ..." And there really should be a " 0.0.0.0" added to the end of that line; patch attached. As for the omissions, there doesn't seem to be a mention that "papchap" is the default profile name if you enable PPP in rc.conf. I only use PPP rarely, but it seems like the most common cases should be first. Today, wouldn't that be PPP enabled in rc.conf with a dynamic IP address? -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA ---902635197-838218655-1274305928=:61595 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII; name=ppp.patch Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Content-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.00.1005191552080.61595@wonkity.com> Content-Description: Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=ppp.patch LS0tIGNoYXB0ZXIuc2dtbC5vcmlnCTIwMTAtMDUtMTkgMTU6NDA6NDAuMDAw MDAwMDAwIC0wNjAwDQorKysgY2hhcHRlci5zZ21sCTIwMTAtMDUtMTkgMTU6 NDI6MzkuMDAwMDAwMDAwIC0wNjAwDQpAQCAtNTc5LDcgKzU3OSw3IEBADQog CSAgICA8bGluayBsaW5rZW5kPSJ1c2VycHBwLXN0YXRpY0lQIj5QUFAgYW5k IFN0YXRpYyBJUA0KIAkgICAgQWRkcmVzc2VzPC9saW5rPiwgd2l0aCB0aGUg Zm9sbG93aW5nIGNoYW5nZTo8L3BhcmE+DQogDQotCSAgPHByb2dyYW1saXN0 aW5nPjE3ICAgICAgc2V0IGlmYWRkciAxMC4wLjAuMS8wIDEwLjAuMC4yLzAg MjU1LjI1NS4yNTUuMjU1PC9wcm9ncmFtbGlzdGluZz4NCisJICA8cHJvZ3Jh bWxpc3Rpbmc+MTcgICAgICBzZXQgaWZhZGRyIDEwLjAuMC4xLzAgMTAuMC4w LjIvMCAyNTUuMjU1LjI1NS4yNTUgMC4wLjAuMDwvcHJvZ3JhbWxpc3Rpbmc+ DQogDQogCSAgPHBhcmE+QWdhaW4sIGRvIG5vdCBpbmNsdWRlIHRoZSBsaW5l IG51bWJlciwgaXQgaXMganVzdCBmb3INCiAJICAgIHJlZmVyZW5jZS4gIElu ZGVudGF0aW9uIG9mIGF0IGxlYXN0IG9uZSBzcGFjZSBpcw0K ---902635197-838218655-1274305928=:61595--
