Hello,
Thank you very much for your suggestions. My main problem was some
stupid/newbie assumptions I made.
In doing a demand PPP setup, I read out of context that a connection
would be made as PPP started up. As everybody else probably knows, this
is wrong. In a demand setup, PPP needs to be started but won't connect
without some traffic: eg ping.
In addition, I read too literally somewhere that a 486 can be used.
The 486s I had had serial chips that wouldn't accommodate modern modem
serial speeds.
Thanks especially to Larry P for pointing out the first, which gave
enough clues to figure out the second.
The fix I did included some of what Luis and Richard suggest, but not
all. Your comments seem to me like a worthy candidate for addition to
the generally marvelous user guide, in which section 2 could use a
non-compuserve example like Luis'.
I should look up what these options mean, but for now I'll just
describe what I did interspersed below.
Gratefully yours,
Keith Iosso
