Do what you want, but I recommend omitting both options based on your previously stated goal of having pppd exit on failure. If you do use "demand" with your current configuration, I recommend including "nopersist" in order to get the failure semantics desired. I'm not sure I see how "demand" really fits in here, but you haven't revealed enough information to give better advice. And I'm not going to continue playing 20 questions to get it. :-/ -- 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
