Whoo hoo! I got it fixed. What I did was make a seperate script named /etc/ppp/link.sh which takes start and stop parameters like a startup script. Then I put a line "!bg /etc/ppp/link.sh start" in ppp.linkup and the equivelant in ppp.linkdown. It works perfectly now. The difference between ifconfig down and destroy is that down just marks a network interface as down or unusable, while destroy completely removes the interface so it doesn't even show up in ifconfig. Up and create are basically the same. Like I said before, gif0 doesn't exist when I boot so I have to create it. But I don't have to destroy it when I disconnect; I could down it. I may change that later but I don't care enough right now. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
