Peter,
First.. the MASQ email list filtered your attachments as
it should. Its always a bad idea to send attachments on a
email list.
Ok.. next.

Are you sure its using the variables? Check out the comments section
in Section 10 of TrinityOS for verification:

Didn't see any of this.

Sounds like you have an old module.dep file. No worries.. ignore that
message,

Again.. this depends on your firewall rulesets, etc. Have you tried
using a very SIMPLE firewall ruleset and build it up step by step?

Its probably port 53 packets for DNS stuff. Impliment a simple firewall
to make sure you are getting all the PPPd variables to your firewall
script correct. Then.. you can build it up.
