If I do this:
ipconfig -D ppp /dev/eia0
ipconfig goes right out to ... ethernet ... and gets an IP.

When I RTFM it sorta implies that it will use the byte stream device I
named. So, another silly question before I waste a lot of time, anybody
out there used ppp as the primary interface recently? I'm almost
wondering if it makes no sense to use ipconfig and ppp ...

thanks
