Why would you want it to give you a prompt? What would you do with it if you got it? Once the ppp connection is up, it is just there for any application to use, just like an ethernet connection. The applications neither know nor care whether their packets are going out via ppp or over a LAN. > I need to set up for e-mail and for actually getting on the net, but I > don't know how.

That's because you don't need to interface them to ppp. Just install them and configure them and they will work. It's easier than it looks. -- John Hasler This posting is in the public domain.
