I got Dynamic IP to run but strange enogh when I log in Bootp (or whatever)
wants to have an IP adress.. I also found out that the OwnDevUnit switch shows
up on error.. Seems it is not implemented or a typo.

Of course it does. You have to call the Dial slip and then it calls flawlessly.
From my Provider.conf:

<snip>
Set WaitForTimeout 30
retries = 10

call Dial

Status "Waiting for login prompt..."
<snap>

I earlier used IPDial to log in and now I have "translated" the login script
to ARexx. Only log off does not seem to work (it seems serial set up does
not work as described in the "Readme First" file).

You have to use startnet SRV so that the LOOPBACK works (try ping localhost,
it should not work if you omit the SRV switch). I personally would prefer
though that  it would work by default.
