Hi.

I have a static IP address (196.7.74.174) and am dialling into my ISP.
The problem is that when I specify ppp -auto chain it starts dialling
for reasons I do not understand (i.e. I do nothing, and it starts dialling).

Any ideas ? I include extracts of sysconfig, ppp.conf and ppp.linkup.
---ppp.conf---
default:
 set device /dev/cuaa0
 set speed 38400
 disable lqr
 deny lqr
 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 10 \"\" AT&f1e0&a3&b1&c1&d2&h1&k3&r2s7=90s6=3  OK-AT-OK \\dATDP\\T TIMEOUT 90 CONNECT" 
chain:
 set phone 6836822
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: Pkhetan word: <my passwd>"
 set timeout 600
 set ifaddr 196.7.74.174 0
 add 0 255.255.255.0 0
---ppp.conf---

---ppp.linkup---
MYADDR:
 add 0 0 HISADDR
---ppp.linkup---

---sysconfig---

ifconfig_tun0="inet 196.7.74.174 0 netmask 255.255.255.0"
ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost"

#
# Set to the list of route add lines for this host.  You must have a
# route_${static_routes} line for each static route listed here.
#
#static_routes="multicast loopback"
