I think the problem is that you're going through a PTY. PPP does not like to do this in most normal circumstances because of the difference in interfaces between reg. ttys and ptys. That said, I do believe that NetBSD fixed the pty interface up somewhat so that this could be done; that fix was done rather recently, so maybe new version of FreeBSD have it too [new being 1.5.1.1 or whatever the newest version is] All the same, check Nate's suggestion. --rafal /--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ |"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit | Rafal Boni | | 15% of the earth, which is 100% more than they | r-boni@uiuc.edu | | have now..." -Cartoon caption in New Yorker | My opinions, not UIUC's | \--------------------------------------------------------------------------/
