1) i have a dynamically assigned IP address. 2) i let request-route do the dialing [*] 3) ppp is a module (bsd compressors are only built as modules).
but my ip-up script resets the hostname to that of the new ip connection (via SIOCGIADDR), ip-down resets it to old defaults.
jeff [*] this is purely lazyness; i wrote a chat script and made a request-route a symlink. i keep meaning to look at diald, but havn't gotten to it. -- Why Linux? source code. POSIX. tcpip. job control. support from the authors. drivers for most hardware. because one terminal or process is never enough. forget the other O/Ss, i use Linux- the choice of a gnu generation.
