If you're able to connect to your ISP and the modem doesn't drop the connection, then its script is just fine; leave it alone. And leave the cdev set to PPP Server. "cannot get a web page to load" is a general description. You need to be more specific... Are you able to translate domain names to ip addresses? Or is the browser getting stuck after that step? Can you ping places like 216.239.37.99? - Dan. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
