Never mind - it's working again, but I don't know why...

   I have "ppp -auto someplace" in my "rc.local" file.  As of the recent
   builds, this no longer starts ppp.  This is a problem for me, as I
   admin some remote sites, and if they get rebooted, there's no way for
   me to contact them.

   Any suggestions as to where to start PPP?

   Thanks,

   Mike Harding
