Hi folks,
I noticed recurring errors from my pppd process : 'Argument list too long'
(see below)

This is occurring for both my ip-up and ip-down scripts in /etc/ppp folder.

The scripts look alright to me, but then again I still have my newbie status.
(Copy of my ip-up script is below).

How can I get more debugging info ?

Thanks,
Declan
