What am I doing wrong?? > [snip] diald and the stuff you setup via netcfg are completely seperate entities. diald is not configurable via netcfg, while pppd is what you are configuring. If you want to use diald, you need to work up that configuration seperately. (Of course, you could do what I'm contemplating and trying to write some scripts that pick information out of the ifconfig and ipfwadm -l listings and use those to do an equivalent to diald, but I suspect it's going to be annoying and may not work well. It certainly won't work really speedily, but in my application, it should be good enough.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For daily digest info, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]
