Since several of you have offered to take a look at the config files - here
they are - all suggestions welcomed. The files are essentially as provided
with the distribution with the changes for my ISP.
The problem is (summary of the thread so far) that diald dials OK and connects
but can't negotiate a PPP session. It sends LCP ConfReq packets, gets no
response and dies.
Thanks;
