If you're trying to edit /etc/ppp/peers, then that is a directory, and that might be why you're getting the error. Which distro are you using? If you installed via a binary package, there should be some ready-made peer files already there, and you can just use: sudo pppd call barry-rogers or something similar, depending on your provider. - Chris ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
