I recently appointed myself computer person at the local teen center. Unfortunately, things aren't going as well as I would like. I've managed to configure so that the modem will now dial in and send the password, but things still die off before the line is fully up. My vision is a setup in which

Demand PPP

2003-02-04 Thread David Raeker-Jordan
I know that this question has been asked recently, but I obviously must be missing something because I cannot get PPP to work on demand. Currently I use pon/poff to dial into my ISP and get my dynamic IP address. I want to automate the process so that ppp dials out automatically. Here is my curre
