I did it as root and it worked fine. Also i believe that the login is a little wierd for earthlink its something like ELN/username or suttin. i know you have to add something before your username when u login using ppp. check with earthlink. -caffeine http://www.monmouth.com/~caffeinex2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
