For information on how Linux PPP works, the "Linux PPP HOWTO" is a good resource. It's at http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/ . Earthlink used to publish linux connection instructions, but they don't seem to now. Looks like they're still available via help.mindspring.com (EL and MS merged in 2000): http://help.mindspring.com/support/browse/general_info/toc/d0119.htm http://help.mindspring.com/modules/01400/01419.htm --Brad > Patrick ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Dice - The leading online job board for high-tech professionals.
