1. Do I have to use "ippp0" or "eth0"? I guess, I can't put an ISDN card in promiscous mode, can I?
You shouldn't need it. On ethernet devices, promiscous mode is nessecary to get the device to let any packets to the kernel (otherwise, non-broadcast packets to different MAC addresses would be not seen by the kernel). On peer-to-peer devices it's different because they don't work on a bus but peer to peer, so the kernel processes all received packets anyways. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
