I haven't tried this method. I'm a long time user of 'pppd' and tend to stick with what I know and what I've had success with previously. Now that I've done a pretty close read of your man-page for ppp, I may give this a try and see how it works out. > Having said that, can't pppd do it by just using ``ssh -t blah'' ? I didn't find a way to do this. The '-t' option only instructs the local ssh client to request that the remote sshd server allocate a pty for the command that it spawns, but otherwise doesn't really do anything on the local side. Thanks for the tip on using 'set device "!foo"'. I kind'a like that :) You may have a convert yet! -Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
