		     ^^^^^^  This helped a lot, but it wasn't the only
problem.  In the new mgetty packages, the login.config file changed
slightly with the /AutoPPP/ line.  Previously I had the default line:

/AutoPPP/	-	-	/usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login

which didn't work.  In the new login.config, the 3rd parameter change from
a "-" to "a_ppp"  -- ie:

/AutoPPP/	-	a_ppp	/usr/sbin/pppd auth -chap +pap login

.. this may a difference too.

Yes!


Well it connects now, but the networking/ip_masquerading isn't working...
DNS requests work, but I can't ping other machines, including my own Linux
box.  Anyone have experiance with ip masquerading and ppp?   I got the
local ethernet and ip masquerading, so maybe I can figure this one out.

Thanks so much!
