ppp0 used to be my net connection, and that's what I get.

ppp1 is my dialin line which people can log in on and use the net via
me, not that i do that because that would be in violation of some ISP
clause no doubt.

ppp2 is my current internet link

Any ideas why ppp0 isn't being used? It did it once before and fixed
itself a few days after..

Bizarre
