There is, but given the amount of questions that have come up on the list and on Usenet I can draw one of two conclusions. 1) The users aren't reading the handbook (I suspect that here) 2) The handbook docs need updating. Given the amount of time I've spent recently answering PPP questions, it would be worth my while to re-write the sections on PPP/SLIP. Also, I've got *all* of them working here in all combinations, so hopefully I should be able to get it right. *grin* One of the user I just helped out is planning on updating the docs, and I plan on reviewing it so hopefully it'll get better.
