I think you might need to provide a little more detail on exactly what message you're getting and what the word "prompt" means in this context. At a guess, the problem is that there's a rule in your /etc/syslog.conf (or /etc/rsyslog.conf on some Linux systems) that is directing messages for 'daemon' to /dev/console. pppd always writes to syslog, with severity level based on the nature of the problem. It never writes a message above "error" severity, so as long as only "daemon.crit" (and above) are directed to the console, you shouldn't have that problem. But that's just a guess. I don't know whether the message you're talking about is from pppd or from the kernel or is possibly from something unrelated to PPP. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W
