I found when I installed 2.2.3 that simply recompiling diald makes it use the tap driver for listening for incoming packets rather than slip. That driver seems to be fine in 2.2 but it doesn't accept setting metric from ifconfig which diald seems to be hard wired to do. I hacked those calls out and all seems to be working fine. > -- Phill -- -- Andrew
