This is a very standard Unix/Linux command. Please send the exact string you
typed, along with the exact, complete output. I'm guessing a typo, but I've
just tried several and I can't make this error occur.

I don't use NT, so I don't know what Linux command would be like an NT one.
The only way I know to look at the logs is to look at them ... using any
text editor (vi, pico, emacs ... whatever you like) or commands like more
and tail.
Assuming you ran the following two commands after making a ppp connection
(or getting as close as you can), you do not have a ppp0 interface, so the
connection never completed. You do need to solve the dialing problem. It's
not (or at least not yet) a TCP problem. You need help from someone who
knows the specifics of KPPP on RH 6.2, and that's not me.

Once again, I'd like to see what you typed and what the reply was. Later on,
you report the contents of /etc/resolv.conf:
