That's why I take Jordan's Are we talking about developing an interface (gui or otherwise) to the existing user-ppp or pppd tools, or something entirely new? RedHat has a semi-intuitive ppp setup GUI which works for most setups using CHAP and PAP checkboxes for options, etc. An example of a very elegant and intuitive ppp setup we could work towards is the BeOS. A dialog box asks for the username, password, and telephone number. It determines server type, PAP or CHAP, etc.- but this would require some real work. -Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
