You must not use any of them with i4b! i4b has its own PPP stack which is configured using ifconfig and spppcontrol. Please print out the i4b handbook in handbook/i4b.ps, it will answer most of your questions. Also the FAQ and the contrib section contains some hints about how to setup PPP. And all these resources are mentioned in the README .... :-( hellmuth -- Hellmuth Michaelis Tel +49 40 559747-70 HCS Hanseatischer Computerservice GmbH Fax +49 40 559747-77 Oldesloer Strasse 97-99 Mail hm [at] hcs.de 22457 Hamburg WWW http://www.hcs.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
