[ Having PPP auto-dial the connection no matter if it's needed or not ] OK. The PPP code is quite readable, so I was able to get it to do what I wanted in 5 lines of actual code. However, being a good programmer, I also updated the documentation and changed some of the error messages to reflect the new option so the diffs come out to be 5K as a context diff. If anyone is interested in the code I can send it to them. I'm passing it by Atsushi first before I commit it, but it's *really* short so let me know if you want it. With the addition of this and the use of ipfw, FreeBSD now has all of the features of MorningStar PPP which we paid $700 for, plus we have the source and a great support staff which answer their email pretty quickly. *grin* Kudos! Nate
