I can ping the bsd box once the modem link is up, and the routing tables show everything as OK, but it just won't connect to anything, even when I enter in a specific URL to bypass the DNS. Are there any know problemswith the ftp install over a PPP link? BTW, I am connecting to a portmaster. Thanks in advance, Chris Ochs
