^^^^^^^
I hadn't seen this before so I decided to give it a try.
It starts but with the message:
No Route to Host
After which it will not connect. (cant find it's way I assume)
In my ppp.conf I use:
add 0 255.255.255.0 204.57.120.3
Where 204.57.120.3 is who I USUALLY link to. However, on some occasions
I get sent to .12 and ppp swallows this without a hickup.
I had it in my ppp.linkup under
MYADDR:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR
I agree that ppp.linkup may not be needed with demand dialing, matter of
fact I'm not using one at all right now with no ill effects.
Note:
My ISP uses vj-comp to me but allows predictor1 to him. When ftp'ing
from him on a idle machine I get between 2.2 & 2.5KB/sec on binary or
compressed files. However if I ftp from him to me I get 2.9KB/sec for
compressed files and 4.7KB/sec on binary files. I'd really like him to
use predictor1! I've got mail in and I'm going to see him tomorrow. (I
want to see how he lost 2 3-4GB drives in 2 weeks :-( )
I also fiddled with the mru setting and found that 1460 and 1500 gave ME
the best throughput.
