However using it without the gui front end *may* provide further info. Just another point, i said earlier today that the connection seemed to fail on the first LCP packet - thats not quite right, it tries 9 or 10 times: Feb 24 15:01:01 localhost pppd[8631]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyLTM0 Feb 24 15:01:01 localhost pppd[8631]: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <magic 0xf27b8648> <pcomp> <accomp>] ****Feb 24 15:01:28 localhost last message repeated 9 times Feb 24 15:01:31 localhost pppd[8631]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Feb 24 15:01:31 localhost pppd[8631]: Connection terminated. Actually a google found this solution to a similar problem: " finally found an answer. Usint rp-3 I went into 'advanced' and unchecked the box which says "let PPP perform authentication" Apparently, this turned off the signals being sent by ppp and not recognized." http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=4128 [1] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ eix gnome-ppp * net-dialup/gnome-ppp Available versions: 0.3.21 0.3.23 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.icmreza.co.yu/blogs/vladecks/en/?page_id=4 Description: A GNOME 2 WvDial frontend
