By using the suggestions of Victor (vas@vas.tomsk.su) for aliasing lo0 and fiddling with the home directory copy of ppp.conf (.ppp.conf) I now have iijppp, procmail, and even acm working correctly now. Dan, these are the lines added to ppp.conf: accept pap set ifaddr 208.128.8.69/24 208.128.8.118/24 # <- add 0 0 208.128.8.118 # <- set authname gorilla\toj The addresses, of course, will vary. My isp always has an address of 208.128.8.118 and he assigns me an address of 208.128.8.[0-255]. The slash 24 lets the last number group be whatever. Thanks to all for helping me finally get this right. Feel free to question anything concerning this. Tom
