Replacing HISADDR in ppp.conf did make the -auto option work, and a couple of other suggestions were really helpful, too. After the changes, I found I could contact myself, but not from my own computer directly. Ie, to telnet in, I have to come from somewhere else. But at least that means others can reach me. Thanks again. rob.
