I have NO problems with manual or automatic dialing, however when I try to use the -auto switch for ondemand dialing I cannot get the triggering program (ie. ftp freebsd.cdrom.com) to connect. I can CTRL-C out and redo the command (ie. ftp freebsd.cdrom.com) and it'll work fine. Kinda sucks having a auto connection not auto-connect. I'd guess that maybe the first FTP has my /etc/hosts address and when I connect (and get my IP address changed by my ISP) the returning packets are going into the bit bucket. Wrong Tree? Ideas? --- Rob Snow rsnow@txdirect.net
