The IP assignments were removed by me not ifconfig. I felt I shouldn't be broadcasting my ISP's network info to the list but I screwed it up later by posting that information in the netstat output. The 10/8 address is correct for my ISP as it uses 10/8 internally. I am not attempting to use 10/8 on my systems. The corrected output for ppp0 would be: ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:207.172.60.5 P-t-P:10.65.48.12 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1006 Metric:1 RX packets:13840 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:9914 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 > > There are a lot of items missing from this version of the ppp options > file. for instance there is no mention of where the modem device is, no > mention of the connect baud rate, no chatscript mentioned and other > stuff.

Besides /etc/ppp/options there is a /etc/ppp/ppp-on, /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer and /etc/ppp/ppp-off. My command to run pppd is: exec /usr/sbin/pppd debug /dev/cua1 38400 \ connect $DIALER_SCRIPT where $DIALER_SCRIPT points to /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer. debug and kernel debug are set so that I can check /var/log/messages for errors when the connect script fails or if there are problems with the connection. While I only understand a portion of the information that is dumped to syslog it does help to have it when I am arguing with a tech support that doesn't support Linux. The mtu setting is the one recommended by my ISP. If you want to see all the scripts go here: http://www.erols.com/martindiviaio/connect-script.html There is a limit on how much traffic that can be sent out from my directory per month. I'm usually nowhere near the limit as I only use the space for myself and don't normally publish it. If you can't get the page for some reason, let me know and I will send it to you or post it to the list; your option. _______________________________________________ Plug maillist - Plug@lists.nothinbut.net http://lists.nothinbut.net/mail/listinfo/plug
