Acording to the man page for the vesrion found at http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/. I should be able to use the "shell" keyword, So i put the following in /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup shell "echo HISADDR > /tmp/addr" Nothig happende, not even the creation of the file in /tmp. The version of ppp that I am runing is : /usr/sbin/ppp uucplock.c 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/6/93 Is my syntax wrong? Can this not be in the ppp.linkup file ? Is the version of ppp that I am runing to early to support this? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95. Buy, lemmings, buy!
