at least for me, I had to add iface clear to ppp.linkdown as well, because it would then delete it after the connection is dropped. about killing ppp, I always do a 'killall ppp' and that always seems to do the trick.. you might add the set server line to add a pppctl socket. it is as good as running it in interactive mode, and you can spy on the connection and open/close/etc to ppp --- doug reynolds | the maverick | [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
