If you need to setup routing tables whenever the ppp link comes up, look at the ppp.linkup file. % Is there something special to put into the ppp.conf file when % i'm not using the ifconfig line ? > Don't know for -auto. If, for instance, you want to add the other end of the PPP link as the default route each time the link comes up, and you're using ppp -auto remotesite, add the following entry to ppp.linkup: remotesite: delete 0 0 add 0 0 HISADDR This will delete the existing default route and add the far end of the PPP link as the new default route each time the link comes up. -- Wes Peters | Softweyr | Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
