That's one possibility. Another would be having UNI Q.2931 signaling set up the virtual circuit for you, and launching pppd based on the signaling. I don't think the existing implementation includes the bits required to do that. You'd have to write it yourself. And it (obviously) depends on what sort of connection you have to the network. >> Well I coated this (PADI, PADO,...) because, wanted to know does PPPoA >> also follows these message sequence or it has new set of sequence ? > > No, they are for PPPoE. The closest equivalent to those messages I can imagine would be the ATM signaling mechanism referenced above. But I think it's probably time to take a step back and ask the obvious question: can you tell us what you've got (in terms of hardware, software, and operational environment) and what you're trying to do (in as much high-level detail as possible)? -- 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
