Pretty close. The -ddial feature is not supported in the version of ppp on your system, but if you read the archives from January and February of this year, I wrote several messages on how to setup demand dialing with the -auto option on 2.1.x. A version of the -current user-mode PPP which will compile and run on 2.1.5 is available, see http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/ for more info. This will probably be your best bet if you cannot upgrade your 2.1.5 machine; upgrading to 2.2.2 or -stable would be even better. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
