I installed the package version, which was not compiled with -DAUTO_PPP. Thanks for the tip. Our dialup server was running Linux until last week, when it ate it's disk drive. We got a new IBM DCAS 4.3G UW SCSI a couple of days ago, and the resident Linuxhead is gone, so I'm FreeBSDing the system. He'll be amused when he gets back. ;^) We're also planning on sticking a 16-port serial board into this beast to talk to the serial consoles on some of our lab equipment. Do you have any suggestions for good, high-density serial boards? We'd like one that allows us to use RJ-45 connectors on a rackmount panel, if possible. Thanks again for the help, Jack. As usual, the FreeBSD support line comes through in record time! -- Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?
