Luis, I've used the +ua option since I worked out PPP for the first time in Slackware; I've never had any trouble with it in Debian, under ppp-2.2.0f-19, 23, and 24 (the very, very latest). I'm sorry to say I don't know what your trouble could be, but I wanted to let you know it was possible. ____________________ Matthew R. Briggs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
