um, possibly, but the command still works when i execute /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/load, so i don't think it does. > you need to quote the command. try xnetload "your_command". i have, now, and it makes no difference. even just having a vanilla `xnetload -if ppp0' doesn't work. any other ideas? -- alisdair mcdiarmid [EMAIL PROTECTED] [empty black dead clean cold numb free alone afraid complete]
