The comments in this thread I made about not being able to use hostname
in /etc/hosts prove to not be the case, thankfully!

By using the suggestions of Victor (vas@vas.tomsk.su) for aliasing lo0
and fiddling with the home directory copy of ppp.conf (.ppp.conf) I now
have iijppp, procmail, and even acm working correctly now.

Dan, these are the lines added to ppp.conf:

	accept pap
	set ifaddr 208.128.8.69/24 208.128.8.118/24 # <-
	add 0 0	208.128.8.118 # <-
	set authname gorilla\toj

The addresses, of course, will vary. My isp always has an address of
208.128.8.118 and he assigns me an address of 208.128.8.[0-255]. The
slash 24 lets the last number group be whatever. Thanks to all for
helping me finally get this right. Feel free to question anything
concerning this.

Tom
