Hi: Well, I just run that command on its own when I want buddy phone to work, but you could probably put it in one of several places. Probably putting it in its own script and putting it somewhere in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d would bre as good as anywhere else. As for compilation under debian, I'm still waiting to hear from you what won't compile and what the errors are. I've had so few things not compile that I could probably count them on one hand. You can generally get around compilation problems by making sure you've got everything the program wants before starting. Geoff. -- Geoff Shang <gshang10 at scu.edu.au> ICQ number 43634701
