hmm! unfortunately, i'm on a cable modem, which means i'm really
on 24/7 whenever the computer is alive... so my setup will be
different.
i do recall, tho, that when i installed ipmasq (i think!?) it
asked me about "is this for ppp only?" or some such. look for
the config files associated with your ppp arrangement (maybe
there's a command to reconfigure any particular package [i'd
bet money] but my brain isn't working at proper speeds at the
moment...)
it may even just be the existence of a single file in the ipmasq
area -- check the ipmasq script (or subsidiary scripts) and see
if it checks for any ppp something-or-other...
anyone else got a pointer off the top of your heads, on how to
set up ipmasq for ppp?
