Hi !

I am looking for advice for the setup of a ppp connection. I would like to use dial on
demand as I have to pay my IP per minute. I have downloaded the ppp package iijppp (I think
it is version 0.94b) and successfully compiled and installed on my system (NetBSD-1.0).
I even was able to manually connect to my IP, but after several tries I am still unable to
use connect on demand. I certainly have to do some additional setup work (e.g resolv.conf).
Can anyone give me some hints what I have to do, to get the ppp connection to work (I
really do not want to use WIN95).
Any hints are very appreciated. Thanks in advance.

	Regards
		Werner
