I got it up and running within a few hours of your mail. And I am _*VERY*_ happy with the performance and flexability of the FreeBSD networking and ppp program. Only two other questions. IIRC there was a way to have pppd under linux to do a keepalive. Is this possible for ppp? As I want to keep a permanent connection as much as possible, with the least amount of extra programs being run (I had a keepup program written to dial and maintain the link in linux, but had many problems...). Second, I read the "academic" section of the ppp primer and it set up a working DNS system. This works nicely and I have no problems... for the local machine (eg. 127.0.0.1). The problem is that it complains that 192.168.1.1 does not have a valid DNS entry, but it works. using nameserver 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf works fine. using server 192.168.1.1 in nslookup works beautifully, but nameserver 192.168.1.1 fails. Thanks again and keep up the good work!
