A kind soul suggested changing the localhost entry in the PPP client (sum): original: 127.0.0.1 localhost new: 127.0.0.1 localhost sum.psych.upenn.edu sum.psych sum A wonderful hack. This does work, although it creates a few annoyances. I'm curious as to why the original localhost entry worked for ethernet, but didn't for PPP. Is it because the POINTOPOINT network interface type takes precedence over localhost/loopback? If so, is this desirable? Ross
