Ok you must have a ppp that accepts -auto see man ppp. and in the myip entry in the ppp.conf file..... myisp: set ifaddr 0 1.1.1/0 add 0 0 1.1.1.1 this tells the ppp to accept any ip that the isp delivers.. and to add a default route to that ip. the number 1.1.1.1 I choose at random could be 2.2.2.7 for example. I use 1.1.1.1 because it does not exists... (I guess). In this manner...... ppp -auto alias myisp will do the trick. Sergio Lenzi. Unix consult.
