There's code in 2.2 that handles this. Yes, I am using gated. Yes, there are host routes, but they seem to make sense (e.g. the one listed above) for the point to point links. And the PPP-connected networks on this and another 2.1.5R terminal server have *not* exhibited this [arpresolve] behaviour, although the routing entries are equivalent. Thanks, Danny
