Attempted clarification:
Diald controls the ppp0 connection. My ISP assigns an IP
address to ppp0 (the interface to the outside world) that
changes with each login. I need to pass the address to my
rc.firewall file so that it knows the value of IPADDR to use
in the ipchains scripts that I have put together from
Ziegler's book.
So the problem is the value of $IPADDR and there are
reference in the scant pump docs that I have seen that it
does this, although the documentation is shallow enough that
I don't have the foggiest notion how!
TIA
