Claus,
Does this look familiar??? ;-)
------ screen cap of "manual login" ------

* Reading configuration file L:\ARACHNE\ARACHNE.CFG
* Initializing modem. Press <Esc> to abort.
AT&fs7=90s11=50
OK
* Dialing 330-629-8686. Press <Esc> to abort.
ATDT330-629-8686
CONNECT 115200
IMPORTANT:
This is point where most novice users are becoming confused.
When you see "weird characters" (like "{#@${!^%{"), it is not error. These
characters are PPP packets and you shoul press <F7> key to load PPP driver !
* Terminal mode. Press <Alt+P> or <F7> to load PPP driver.

__________________________________________
After providing your user name and password.
Press Alt+P or the F7 key. (either one will work)
You might not see those "weird characters".
(some users have reported that they don't see them)
So go ahead and hit the F7 key a few seconds after you get
the answer "ppp".
