Dodson bdodson@scms.utmb.edu >409-772-2178 FAX: 409-772-1790 I don't know about you Bud, but when ATT first announced the worldnet program, I called their tech support to ask if other software ie., FBSD, or other means of handling a PPP connection would be supported. At that time, they told me no, however if they see a demand, it might be supported in the future. I too, would be interested if anyone has used FBSD/ppp for access.. -sam- -- World Traveler | International Lover | Casual Hero Wars Fought | Opressor of Champions | Revolutions Started Aligators Castrated | Virgins Converted | Governments Run
