Eventually, rex is going to be removed - so you will have a problem then. Either you will have to debug and fix your problem, or keep a version of rex around on CD. (Maybe you just have to keep a version of the pppd package around) Maybe someone will volunteer to keep rex around - but I wouldn't count on it. That's what CDs are for. As for me, I don't mind if rex is removed - since I've upgraded all my systems to "bo". Cheers, - Jim
