What are you running on your side of the link? If it's Quagga, I think you should be able to specify a netmask through the configuration file that matches what Cisco is expecting.

One of the underlying questions is whether it works right when you do that. I think at one point it did not ... and that the kernel was supposed to ignore oddities like that. Your other option would be to write an /etc/ppp/ip-up script that uses ifconfig to tweak the interface as desired. That's a little hackish, but requires no code changes. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
