Ahh, that's probably it then. It's not in my options file, because my setup is rather customised because I use diald for one link. I have two other /etc/ppp/peers/<provider> files which have the lock option in them, though, created by pppconfig in hamm if I'm not mistaken. I do seem to recall the port being locked in /var/lock, though, and the diald-managed link is certainly locked in that directory. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3TYD.
