Maybe someone > could send me a sample ppp.conf too. I think you're overlooking something here. Check the handbook on user PPP setup -- I believe you're supposed to start the action with the ppp command. Then, the ppp.* files in /etc/ppp carry the rest of the info, and call on chat directly. The problem is that if you call chat from the command line, it will do what you say but it won't start anything else. If you start ppp, it can call chat to start the connection and then switch over to the now-established IP connection. > Also...during the install, I chose to install the BSDDIP program > and, well, where is it?
