Look at what the command pon does: cush:~$ which pon /usr/bin/pon cush:~$ cat /usr/bin/pon #!/bin/sh if [ -r /etc/ppp.options_out -a -r /etc/ppp.chatscript ]; then /usr/sbin/pppd connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp.chatscript" `cat /etc/ppp.options_out` else echo "You do not have permissions to access /etc/ppp.chatscript or /etc/ppp.options_out" fi As you can see, pon is just a little shell script that calls /usr/sbin/pppd with the following arguments: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp.chatscript" and whatever is in /etc/ppp.options_out So to find out more, look at the manpage for pppd. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
