One reason that it can't be used in some instances is that it currently provides no mechanism (that I've found) with which to disable ip-address negotiation. Specific examples which will always fail are connections to a box running any KA9Q variant (there are lots) and a Telebit NetBlazer. The latter component that this machine talks to is configured to reject any negotiation .. I do not know if that can be changed. In both instances, the user-mode ppp apparently decides that it can't confirm the address used by the other end and drops the connection on the floor. In contrast, "pppd -ip .." works every time, michael
