Just disregard all the terminal and modem related stuff - the rest applies to isdnpppd as well.

I'll forward you an email message in which I tried to explain my configuration. To enable *dynamic* IP addresses, I had to patch the isdnpppd (sys_bisdn.c) to reenable some "#if 0" - "#endif" enclosed code. And I had to patch the ipp driver. You'll find the patched ipp driver in bisdntest-2. > if you need any further information please ask > > thanks in advance for any hint > > t > > -- > thomas graichen - graichen@rzpd.de graichen@OpenBSD.org graichen@FreeBSD.org > > perfection is reached, not when there is no longer anything to add, but when > there is no longer anything to take away antoine de saint-exupery I like your signature!
