Here's how far I have now come... I went through another ftp install of fbsd, during that install I changed the the vt with ppp running and looked at the routing table (show route) it had an entry like: default xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx fffffff I had no idea there was such thing as a "default" destination. None of the mail archives or man pages said anything about it. So, I edited my ppp.linkup file to include: add default 255.255.255.0 HISADDR It works great now. Now I have to work on the login and dial scripts and dial-on-demand stuff. Hope this helps some other lost soul... Royce Tidwell
