If there is could you please let me know where to find it. If > there isn't one could you tell me which man pages would help me out. yes. the man page for ppp(8) details setting up iijppp as a ppp server (answers), a ppp client (originates), ppp callback (in an example conf file). you must have the tun device in your kernel. you will need one for each ppp connection. you will also need a sio device for each connection. (look thru the output of /sbin/dmesg). you will need the tun devices in /dev as well as the cuaa devices (ppp client) and ttyd devices (ppp server). then just follow instructions on the man page. jmb Jonathan M.
