A nice desciption of setting up User PPP. I've got the dialup script working (after $10 worth of phone calls) but getting it to add the default route (add 0 0 HISADDR) automatically. I've tried putting the line in the ppp.conf file as the last entry in the connection, also tried in the ppp.linkup file. It just doesn't want to add the route and occassionally (the circumstances of which I'm still trying to work out), it appears to remove the route from the box to the remote modem. Any ideas anyone? I recently bought the TCP/IP Network Administrators Guide (published by O'Reilly) even though it is very Linux/Solaris orientated. I'd recommend this book, and all other O'Reilly books I've read (in particular the Learning Perl, Programming Perl and Unix Power Tools) to everyone. But how about a BSD port of the book? ;-) Jye p.s. hello everyone :) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
