I've been using an external Zyxel Omni TA 128U for two years now and it's performed flawlessly (in a business environment) day-in and day-out. I use diald to dial on-demand and just tell the TA to do Sync-to-async conversion, then the regular pppd does the rest. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
