Doesnt it get confused ? : rob@marley.aws.waii.com When you say multiple PPP interfaces do you mean multiple /dev/ entries like /dev/ppp[0-4], for example? Or do you mean something else that one would have to configure into the code? Right now, just to try and get my ppp stuff working i have configured my machine to have the same internet network portion (142.49.30.1) as the system at work that i am calling (142.49.1.23). However, it doesn't seem to be communicating and it panics when i have a PPP link of some sort established and then do a netstat -r. It obviously isn't comletely connected since a ping of the other system times out.
