Um, just how are you starting up ppp? If it's being done with a script, you might try using the "ipparam" option for pppd to pass another parameter to /etc/ip-up. You'd probably want to be very careful security-wise if you did this, though, to make certain that malicious things couldn't be passed in via ipparam. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
