I recently "updated" from 2.1.7 to 2.2.2.. I use my freebsd box mainly
as a gateway to my isp. The -alias switch doesn't appear to be available
with the PPP user process anymore. Did it go away or what? Also... is
there someplace that I can put the command to start PPP in on demand
mode at boot time? I'd rather not have to log in to get things going.
