Hey, this is cool, do you have an example 'ip-up' config file? I have used ppp quite a lot to talk to industrial equipment, so any other examples of things you can fire up once a ppp link is established, is of keen interest to me.... Does this work with any ppp/ppp_dialer or just a specific one? wvdial is what I have used, but, I'm open to kppp or any other robust ppp tools, as I usually manually fire up software manually once the link is established. Hopefully, this and other config files can exist simultaneously, as I need to routinely connect with ppp to different closed( non internet) networks.... When I use PPP, it may be the primary link or used as a backup, remote connection. I also, I routinely establish ppp links, over RS232 serial ports, to a variety of embedded system, so any other ppp ideas, config files and code snippets are of keen interest likewise. Sometimes I just talk to the embedded web server in a device over the ppp-serial link. My oldest portable, was debian with all of the ppp tricks on it. It died and I did not have a backup of my ppp tricks on my debian system, one of which was settings that worked with a variety of modems on cisco routers. Dam cisco and their s-register modem setting incompatibilities.... any information is appreciated, James -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
