There is no option there. Basically, just tell pppd that its local IP address is .4. pppd a.b.c.4:x.x.x.x (substitute remote IP address) pppd does not care about the status of the IP address w.r.t. other interfaces. It can be used or not used by other interfaces, as aliases or not. Just be careful running gated :-) Danny
