I usually ping I don't have an 'rc.d' (though I had an /etc/rc.d/ with Linux). I suppose I should be putting any file to put ppp in the background (as per your suggestion above) in /etc/rc.conf ? > my ISP and it dials.

Your ping above makes user-ppp dial out (because it's in demand dial / auto mode). But what do you use to stop any other traffic to the 'outside' causing a dial out ? Thanks for your help !
