If you move your ppp options to your ppp-up script rather than the options file you should be able to use command-line as well as kppp. Do not delete the options file, just remove all the text from it and add those options to your ppp-up script. Good luck. <BR>-- ----------------------------------------------------- <BR>Ben Messinger <BR>bmessin@3-cities.com <A HREF="http://revolution.3-cities.com/~bmessin/">Use Linux.</A> <BR>-- ----------------------------------------------------- <BR>
