I wouldn't mess with rc.local in this particular case. 'man interfaces' is correct but hard on the eyes, so to say. Googling 'interfaces linux' I found http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ that is a little easier to read.

Thanks! When you do pppoeconf to configure the ppp connection, one of the last questions should be if you want to start the connection at boot time. Answering yes to that should accomplish what you want. for a ppp conection 'wvdial' does this. Not very well, it doesn't. I suggest creating a simple init script in /etc/init.d that calls pppd, and then set up a chat script. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
