Is there a 'delay' or > 'wait' command that can be used to delay the sending of these commands? This shouldn't really be the case. If you enable `ipcp' and `command' logging, you should see a message saying ``IpcpLayerUp(N)'' just before you see the ``delete all'' and ``add 0 0 HISADDR'' being executed. All this should happen *after* the ``changing address: a.b.c.d --> e.f.g.h'' message (which happens when the peer NAKs our IPCP req). If you really want to experiment with a delay, you can execute a script at this point, something link: global: delete all !bg /etc/ppp/delayed-default HISADDR where /etc/ppp/delayed-default (with execute permissions) says: #! /bin/sh sleep 5 route add default $1 > > > My second problem is that I need to dial into the network at work.

I prefer to use a REAL Operating System :-). You could try using ~p instead of ~. - forcing ppp to start sending LCP configure requests.
