I compiled Charles Mott's aliasing ppp and it seems to be working just dandy.
A nice  bit of code.  Now I've decided to finally setup ppp for demand
dialing.
This also seems to be working fine with one minor exception.  About every
fifteen minutes the system dials up my ISP.  The system is otherwise
quiescent
with no one logged on and nothing going on my Winblows 95 box either.
I have named and routed disabled on my FreeBSD box.  Now what do I have to
filter or disable to get it to stop dialing out four times an hour.  From
recent
postings to hackers,  I suspect sendmail is the culprit.  Does anyone else
have
ppp -auto working?
