This will make it NOT wait for an outgoing packet before trying to "connect" -- by listening for an incoming call. Check that the tunnel interface is up and has addresses after mpd is started. Admittedly, this is confusing because there are two things you have to tweak to turn dial-on-demand on or off. -Archie ___________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com
