Am I the only person on EARTH that is having problems getting iij-ppp
to work with -auto connections?

I have NO problems with manual or automatic dialing, however when I
try to use the -auto switch for ondemand dialing I cannot get the
triggering program (ie. ftp freebsd.cdrom.com) to connect.  I can
CTRL-C out and redo the command (ie. ftp freebsd.cdrom.com) and it'll
work fine.

Kinda sucks having a auto connection not auto-connect.

I'd guess that maybe the first FTP has my /etc/hosts address and when
I connect (and get my IP address changed by my ISP) the returning
packets are going into the bit bucket.   

Wrong Tree?  
Ideas?
