The quick way is to put the command in /etc/rc.local. The better way is to configure /etc/network/interfaces for ppp. See the 'interfaces' man page for the details. -- Liam O'Toole Cork, Ireland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

'man interfaces' is correct but hard on the eyes, so to say. Googling 'interfaces linux' I found http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ that is a little easier to read.
