I do see the prompt.  I'm thinking the same thing, but I don't know  
what "right" looks like, either.

Apparently, wvdial takes care of that because I input the username/ 
password in the wvdial.conf file and it appears in both /etc/ppp/ 
{pap,chap}-secrets files.

Doesn't look like it:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] egrep -v '#|^ *$' /etc/ppp/options
asyncmap 0
noauth
crtscts
lock
hide-password
modem
noipdefault
passive
proxyarp
lcp-echo-interval 30
lcp-echo-failure 4
noipx


Adding +ppp didn't make a difference.  I'm suspecting that I need to  
be at the console, bring down the NIC, and then dial out using wvdial  
or kppp.  I'll try that tonight.
