Since the coming of "kppp" I've never known it not to work, providing the modem is recognized.

Ideas please? Probably the DNS is misconfigured.......for a dialup one doesn't have to configure anything i.e. "loopback" is sufficient. Peoples coming from Windows usually overdo things here, expecting configuration to be some sort of black magic. -- Good luck, HarM
