Or, using the sysvinit scripts themselves, just create an entry in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 Documentation on what goes into this file is located in the initscripts /usr/share/doc directory. What's nice about using initscripts is that if folds into the startup paradigm of sysvinit, and the system brings up the interface on startup just like bringing up an ethernet interface. also, the standard /etc/ppp/ip-up.local scripts apply. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
