Yes. /etc/ppp/options is wrong. (I wonder why pon did work). "name xyz" is a privileged option. Only root may use it. non-root users may set this option only using a configfile in the peers directory (if they can do this at all, I'd have to look it up). Please try the following changes: The only option in /etc/ppp/options should be "auth". Remove the "name" option from /etc/ppp/peers/xisp_ttyS3 (it shouldn't be necessary there). You set the username and the remotename in the "Account Information" dialog box. The only reason I can think of for editing the xisp_* files is to add the "debug" option. Try this out and let me know if it worked. Ciao, Martin
