I've been digging through the FAQs, etc. - with no luck yet.  I'd
appreciate it if someone could confirm my assumptions in the ppp
options file.

Beyond that - I think I understand that the route should be established
automatically, correct?  I can't ping xxx.xxx.xxx.PPP :{

              xxx.xxx.xxx.PPP
   yyy.yyy.yyy.PPP  |     xxx.xxx.xxx.NIC
	  -----    ppp0  -------   ed0   ----
'net<->| ISP |<-PPP-> |FreeBSD|<-LAN->| WS |
        -----          -------         ----

IPS gave us yyy.yyy.yyy.ppp
and our own range of IPs  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

/etc/netstart
..
ifconfig ppp0 xxx.xxx.xxx.PPP


/etc/ppp/options    ppp Host options

                                # interface on your machine.
                                # remote IP is ip address that will be
                                # assigned to the remote machine
domain xxx.com                  # your domain
passive                         # wait for LCP
modem                           # modem line



Thanks for any helpful hints.
