I've been looking around for PPP manpages, webpages, chapters in books, etc., but one thing still eludes me in a big way: I can use user ppp to manually connect to my University via the dail in facility, and then use thier system to do e-mail, ftp, etc. However, it is more like I have a remote shell going than a real connection. For example, when I ftp a file, it goes to my university account, not my home FreeBSD box. Also, if I run pine on my local FreeBSD box, I can't send any mail. I still can't figure out how to ftp files from the University to home. I don't know if it is something I have to configure with PPP or if I have to setup my e-mail and ftp packages to use the PPP connection. The Windoze setup was idiot-proof, so I have no experience in this at all. What am I missing here? Is there a doc or web page that will explain how to use local e-mail and ftp with ppp? Ken Marsh
