While waiting for the vet's office to open yesterday (had to make an appointment for our greaseball of a cat which doesn't want to eat, yet she's normally a hoover), I got around to fine tuning the pppd setup on one of the PCs at home.
Got the sucker dialing out on demand now, but apparently the active-filter option is only available under NetBSD for this particular version, so I can't set the turkey up to only dial out when non-local IP packets are detected.
Mother Nature must've seen me leave the house on the motorcycle yesterday, 'cause she decided to piss on me on my way home. I could have sworn that some of what hit my face was recycled Blue Powerade.
Psst Sandy--where do you think the "BUZZ" part of Gary's handle came from?
