Subject: How to start "ppp -auto" on boot?
Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@freebsd.org
X-Loop: FreeBSD.org
Precedence: bulk


I have "ppp -auto someplace" in my "rc.local" file.  As of the recent
builds, this no longer starts ppp.  This is a problem for me, as I
admin some remote sites, and if they get rebooted, there's no way for
me to contact them.

Any suggestions as to where to start PPP?

Thanks,

Mike Harding
