I have it working great in every more except for auto. (BTW, the background mode is VERY nice -- that command line was getting on my nerves in 2.1) :) Here's what I've got for my pmdemand (the ppp.conf.sample said pmdemend, I assume that was a typo): pmdemand: set phone 555-5555 set login "TIMEOUT 15 name: user word: password PPP \"\"" set timeout 120 set ifaddr 204.177.185.116/0 204.177.184.53/0 delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR set openmode active I also put the pmdemand entry from ppp.linkup.sample into my ppp.linkup, no change, except for the script line where I started my own script. Here's what happens when I type ppp -auto pmdemand: ppp puts itself into the background. ppp dials immediately. (I checked, nothing s trying to access the 'net at this time.) My ISP times out and ppp dies. I'm totally lost, folks. (BTW, I put those 204..blah blah addresses in because network 10 is already used on site here.)
