OK. i decided to put the whole log on the web since it's too long to post on the list. please see: http://mail.sni.ph/~tiger/ i set debug on when i switched to pppd (couldn't quite figure out how to get wvdial to set debug on either :). thanks for any pointers. tiger _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
