Well, that didn't help any. I also forgot to mention that I do have it set up on Kppp to use pap/chap. It doesn't work either. I don't know where LCP came from. Any way to force it to disable that in ppp options? I'm not sure but maybe it is something to do with my modem. I had a different modem when I used my brothers account a long time ago. That is all that has changed on my end. Any more ideas? Dale :-) :-) :-) :-) -- www.myspace.com/-remove-me-dalek1967 Copy n paste then remove the -remove-me- part.
