PPP is PPP, regardless of the OS. My site consists of a 32-node IP block. The machine serving as my gateway, mailserver, and primary WWW server runs only FreeBSD, and connects to Erol's (my ISP) via a 28.8 dialup line to a dedicated port. The connection is PPP. Eventually I'll upgrade to ISDN or something bigger, but for now, this is it. In any case, if your ISP expects dial-up access using PPP, they won't care what Operating System you're using -- only that you use the right protocols. Ken
