Yep, your connection is PASSIVE. Only ppp -direct and ppp -dedicated invocations will kick off a RIP-passing connection. If you really want this, you could try altering the pppVars structure in /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp/vars.c - change the OPEN_PASSIVE to 0 (the digit). I havn't tried this myself. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
