You may have done this, but after you connect in ppp, type: show ipcp This will display some stuff (I forget exactly what). One will be "his side." Type "add 0 0 " and then whatever it gave for his side. Then background ppp and run whatever. You'll also need to give it nameserver addresses and the like, but I know from experience that it won't work if you don't do this first. Hope this helps Alex Rolfe rolfe@richmond.infi.net
