So : LIGHTEN up, smell the roses, take a relaxing look at life, it helps a lot. I disagree and agree with David on this one. The original posting 'loudly' complained about the P before ppp logins, the lack of modem init strings, the 'alleged' lack of user accounting, and the BSDI manual. Whether you are a newbie or not, there is no need to slam the product. If you have a question or need help. ask. As you become more familiar with the product, the design decisions appear more valid. -- Bruce Momjian | 830 Blythe Avenue root@candle.pha.pa.us | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026 + If your life is a hard drive, | (610) 353-9879(w) + Christ can be your backup. | (610) 853-3000(h)
