When you type `shell', you suspend ppp execution until you exit the shell. The current ppp warns about this when it spawns the command. You also should make sure that your ``ppp.linkup'' contains the required ``add 0 0 HISADDR''. > Thanks alot, > =20 > > Sean Heiney (sean@owosso.net) Oh, and it's easier for everyone if you post in plain text rather than html :-) -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
