It works fine when connecting to my ISP, and has been fine for 6 months. Now I'd like to be able to dial into my system and get a normal login shell, ( which works fine ) and then start pppd if I want to (which doesn't seem to work) The problem arrises from the /etc/ppp/options file being read before the command line options. The options in /etc/ppp/options contain a defaultroute so I don't want all the network traffic coming down my neck! I guess I could get rid of /etc/ppp/options & always specify options on the command line. I don't want to use ijppp, but do I have to?
