Warning!!! the commandline would run into 2 - 3 lines (assuming ur are on a terminal with 80 char width)... the plus is that you can really learn wats happening a bit more in details. save the command in a script and run it... also if u feel like tinkering around you can set the script to dial-on-demand mode (by putting the script in rc.local) and the next time you try to access a public IP address.. the script will dial out :-) </suggested_method_not_newbie_proof> > 3> Dad was used to the kppp. It's also installed.
