Hello!

I just set up my freebsd 3.0-release system by downloading everything
through an ethernet connection at work, but how do I configure it so that I
can have both my ethernet connection working, and my modem connection
working when i'm at home (where my computer is going to be 99% of the
time). I'm using kde, and the kppp dialer to connect, I believe I have set
up the connection correctly, as it is very similiar to the win95 one.
However, when I try to connect it gets to "starting pppd" and just stops
there and times out. 

Heres a copy of my routing table which so far has only been set up for
ethernet:

pat# netstat -nr
routing tables

internet:

destination	gateway     flags	refs	use	netif expire
default     207.159.73.1  ugsc	0	0	ed1
127.0.0.1   127.0.0.1     uh	0	0	lo0
207.159.73  link#1	     uc	0	0	ed1
207.159.73.1 link#1	     uhlw     1      0     ed1

I was under the impression that the kppp dialer would automatically add the
necessary entries permanently, or at least temporarily that I added in upon
setting up the connection. Also, four my default gateway (207.159.73.1),
that is a router, which is my gateway when i'm on the lan at work, but when
I dial in (I work for the isp), would my default gateway become the ip of
one of our racks of modems (207.159.73.7 , 207.159.73.9)? 

And, if this matters, I have a static ip, 207.159.73.33, and my host name
is pat.expresshost.com.

Please get back to me with any suggestions...
