That is correct. See, ppp is a point-to-point protocol, so traffic can only go in two directions anyway, so you can tell ppp not to use any kind of layer 3 routing and just send packets to the other side automatically. In Linux you do that by just specifying local_ip:remote_ip on the server side and : on the client side. > > Of course, you probably have /etc/ppp/* with the pon/poff scripts in > > which case you need to add above to your /etc/ppp/peers/* scripts > > At the moment I have no scripts in place - I'm doing it manually to see > what works and what I should eventually put in the scripts.

Ok, so this (otoh so don't blame me if it doesn't work *g*) in your inittab should do the job: ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ # At office S0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 modem noauth crtscts persist \ 192.168.1.10:192.168.2.10 nodetach >>/var/log/leased.log # At home S0:23:respawn:/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 115200 noauth lock debug crtscts defaultroute persist nodetach >>/var/log/leased.log ------------< snip <------< snip <------< snip <------------ -- Regards Abraham A morsel of genuine history is a thing so rare as to be always valuable. -- Thomas Jefferson ___________________________________________________ Abraham vd Merwe [ZR1BBQ] - Frogfoot Networks P.O.
