I'm not sure what you are doing here. Are you trying to enable incoming PPP connections using mgetty? Are you trying to enable mgetty for incoming connections and then use PPP for outgoing to ISP? (i.e. use same port for incoming and outgoing comms.) How were you starting mgetty by hand? Same for ppp. Later, Kevin Traas Systems Analyst Edmondson Roper CA http://www.eroper.bc.ca -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
