I do not agree with you. I'm using the PPP and SLIP from FreeBSD 1.0.2 over a 14.4k modem without the gateway option. My understanding is that you need GATEWAY only if you want to forward packets from an interface to another (i.e. from ppp0 to ed0 for example). I'm using FreeBSD but I do not think that it is likely to be different in NetBSD. -- Ollivier ROBERT Ollivier.Robert@keltia.frmug.fr.net A FreeBSD & PERL addict...
