One does not need bsdi's /usr/bin/ppp. Give all users just regular shell when doing adduser. Portmaster handles ifconfig and arp for ppp and slip. How to do it is at www.livingston.com in technical support link. Get documants named portmaster for ISP (or something) and using PPP and SLIP. Follow that completely. I hope that helps. If you have any question, e-mail me. --shri -- -- Music expresses not that which is too imprecise for words, but rather that which is far too precise. --Mendelssohn
