Hi, I'm using FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE. I have set up user ppp with alias enable yes so that the 3 machines on my little lan can get to the internet all at once. I'm having some trouble with the -auto switch, though. Whenever I issue the command %ppp -auto the modem dials immediately, even if neither of my client machines are running netscape, a mail client, or anything else that might want to connect to the internet. It also stays connected forever, even though I set timeout=600 for 10 minutes. As I understood it, ppp -ddial was supposed to maintain continuous connections, not -auto. I imagine I've just set something up wrong, but I can't figure out what. Any thoughts? Thanks please cc me; I'm not subscribed to the list...
