Thanks for the RTFM, but I already have read the handbook ppp, as well as the Pedantic PPP Primer. There are significant differences between these two references. In addition, they muddle between ppp pre-version 2 settings, and version 2 and greater. After reading, it is not clear to me if I need a ppp.linkup to cause the temporary route (10.0.0.1 <-> 10.0.0.2 per my ppp.conf) to be deleted once ppp uses IPCP to set the real IPs & route. In addition, as per my ifconfig line in my ppp.conf, I use the 0.0.0.0 at the end. The handbook makes reference to this but is not clear if it is necessary since I use the 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 guesses in my config file, do I need the 0.0.0.0 or is it just useless overhead. Sorry if this is such a basic question, but I have not found the info I need in the handbook or primer. thanks, Darryl -----Original Message----- From: Odhiambo Washington [mailto:wash@iconnect.co.ke] Sent: Friday, February 23, 2001 12:45 AM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Cc: darryl@osborne-ind.com Subject: Re: ppp.conf and routing * Darryl Hoar <darryl@osborne-ind.com> [20010223 01:16]: writing on the subject 'ppp.conf and routing' Darryl> Greetings, Darryl> I am running FreeBSD 4.0-release and this is my ppp.conf file: Darryl> Darryl> ################################################################# Darryl> # PPP Sample Configuration File Darryl> # Originally written by Toshiharu OHNO Darryl> # Simplified 5/14/1999 by wself@cdrom.com Darryl> # Darryl> # $FreeBSD: src/etc/ppp/ppp.conf,v 1.2 1999/08/27 23:24:08 peter Exp $ Darryl> ################################################################# Darryl> Darryl> default: Darryl> Darryl> # Darryl> # Make sure that "device" references the correct serial port Darryl> # for your modem.
