Well, he can opt to do that if he wants to assign static IP addresses to each serial port. However, if he has a good pool of IP addresses to use (can be private), assigning an IP address per user is nice. That way, if the dialin user is using Linux, he can use either serial port and get the same IP every time and his IP connections won't notice the disconnects/reconnects when they occur. eric -- ___ eric pareja (xenos AT ice.onosendai.org) User #8159 http://counter.li.org \e/ [ This Space For Rent ] [ Looking for a new MUSH ] GNU/Linux v [ Philippine Linux Users' Group + http://plug.linux.org.ph ] Software & [ Free the books! http://www.bookcrossing.com/referral/pusakat ] Freedom "...the symbol is nothing.
