There's a Pedantic PPP primer which covers this for FreeBSD 2.2. (I tried it and couldn't get it to work under 2.1.7, then I noticed it said 2.2 :-( ) anyway, i've upgraded to 2.2 so i'm going to give it another go. it seems easy enough to understand anyway :-) hope this helps Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au On Tue, 18 Mar 1997, Matthew D.
