that's earthlink in the US, right? i did that two years ago. no problems. i think i used kppp back then. i don't remember if i tried to use wvdial. i used earthlink in chicago, dallas-fort worth, fairfax VA, and orlando FL. no problems anywhere (except they block direct SMTP, so you have to relay through their SMTP server, i did SMTP forwarding over ssh to *my* server :). if you're having problems, kppp is pretty good with showing the modem interaction and with showing you the pppd debug output. when you say "connection is established", do you mean when the modem connects but before sending login/pass? or while sending login/pass? or after sending login/pass? i've also had good success with enabling pppd debugging (/etc/ppp/options). that way, pppd writes debugging information (including LCP and similar low level ppp requests and replies) to /var/log/messages (in the default mandrake 9.1/9.2 setting, you might have to tweak syslog.conf on your box). you say "on my linux box". does that mean you've tried to do it in windows and it works there? tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo gquimpo*hotmail.com tiger*sni*ph http://bopolissimus.sni.ph Public Key: "gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 672F4C78" No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy.
