Let me keep this short and to the point.  I have user PPP setup to dial
between two FBSD machines.  The login process works just fine.  I do get
the correct prompt "PPP ON mercury>".  I can do a show ipcp and see the ip
number given to my machine is correct.  When I switch virtual consoles and
try to ping the other PPP end no packet ever makes it through.  When I
switch back to the PPP console and do a "show proto" I can see the ICMP
packets go out but nothing has come in. 

Both machines have GATEWAY=YES in SYSCONFIG, and routeflag=-s like the 
handbook says.  BTW without routed running in cannot even ping the local 
PPP address.  My routing tables do look correct.  My home machine gets a 
default route to my work machine.

I am guessing that I missed something simple.  I followed the handbook as 
closely as possible.  Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in Advance
Tim Stoddard
