I've got user PPP configured on my system only to find out that ppp wants 
a dstaddr (destination IP address) for -auto mode...  is there a way to 
work around this for dial-up PPP with dynamic IP addressing?

My only other alternative is to configure pppd, and for this the handbook 
suggests using kermit...  kermit doesn't seem to come with WC's FreeBSD 2.1R 
CDROMs?

I need to get it automated or at least command-line mode controllable...  
am planning to use crontab to schedule checks into my POP email server to 
check for mail automatically at certain intervals.  Popclient part is 
easy but PPP connection has left me stumped so far.

Any suggestions?
