One thing that I haven't seen mentioned so far in the network/ppp booting saga is getting the machine to boot on its own away from the network. I get long/perpetual pauses for ntpdate and sendmail, which I ^C away from. Ideally, the system would find that it doesn't have a connection on fxp0 and not try to start daemons that won't work (and perhaps start ppp on demand and set a global variable that could be read in my .xsession so that it doesn't start applications that would try to use the network). hawk -- Prof. Richard E.
