Now that I've finally got my connection to our service provider up (yeah - 
wasn't my fault after all - our ISP was not routing properly internally)....  
I'm working on providing PPP dial up _into_ the same box.  

Question 1.

It works great, however, each time the client hangs up, you need to re-
initialize the modem in order to get it to answer again.  I'm using the 
information in PPP.doc.  The client dials in with Trumpet 2.0/Win.

Any ideas?

Question 2.

Also - what is the best place to start the PPP connections, rc.local? 
Once it is up - what is the best way to automatically keep it up - should
the connection drop?

Thanks for any thoughts / help.

-Paul
