Unless you are using CHAP (or are controlling who gets access to the control port (3000)) you don't really need a ppp.secret. >I tried to add "delete default" and "add default HISADDR" in the linkup >file, but I got error messages indicating it wanted "delete dest gateway" >and "add dest mask gateway". How do I do what I want? The correct thing to do for automatic operation is: add 0 <netmask> <remoteaddr> Even tho I may not connect to 158.152.1.194, I add a route to it the entry for my auto-dialout section. Then in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup I have MYADDR: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR This should work. Unless you have gateways off your local ether subnet, that delete ALL shouldn't affect your ethernet. Gary
