I'm working on providing PPP dial up _into_ the same box. Question 1. It works great, however, each time the client hangs up, you need to re- initialize the modem in order to get it to answer again. I'm using the information in PPP.doc. The client dials in with Trumpet 2.0/Win. Any ideas? Question 2. Also - what is the best place to start the PPP connections, rc.local? Once it is up - what is the best way to automatically keep it up - should the connection drop? Thanks for any thoughts / help. -Paul
