But then I ran into an infuriating little problem.. namely, PPP on-demand refused to work (kept getting 'no route to xx.yy.zz'). I waste many an hour trying to get it to work, till I noticed an odd coincidence. The only time ppp -auto worked was after I ran ppp -auto ondemand, which is the static IP addressing version. If I tried either my own one or the example provided (ppp -auto pmdemend) first, I always got not route to host errors. But after I dialed out once with ppp -auto pmdemend (no network connection was made though since I can't have a static IP address, but it at least dialed), I could kill the ppp process and run one with my dynamic IP addressing, and it dialed out just fine. Finally I tried using something like 'set ifaddr 140.192.0.1/16 etc...' in ppp.conf, so that it would have a fixed route but the server could assign it a different address, and it finally worked. For whatever reason, 'set ifaddr 0 etc...' did not work. Lucas.
