Hi David and all, For everyone who is experiencing ppp woes, I would like to recommend a program called xisp. It requires the 'xforms' library which also comes with an excellent interface for creating front ends to X apps. xisp, in itself, has a full windoze-like-only-better interface for setting up your comm options, ppp options, etc., etc. etc. You can find both of these items (xisp, xforms) by doing an ftp search at http://ftpsearch.ntnu.no/. Enjoy your finds Gree David Pellegrino wrote: > Hello all, > I've been trying to get ppp up and running on my Linux box, to no avail.

Hello all, I've been trying to get ppp up and running on my Linux box, to no avail. I have read almost everything I can get my hands on trying to get ppp working, HOWTOs, the pppd manual, etc. I've configured my options, pap-secrets, etc. I dial in to my ISP using minicom, log in and it starts ppp at the server end. I exit out of minicom without resetting the modem and give the command "pppd -d /dev/cua1 115200 &" (which is straight out of the PPP-HOWTO, with my modem settings) and then I hear my modem hang up. It does that everytime. I've gone back and checked my settings in the various files and make sure their right and they seem to be. I just DON'T get it. I can't believe something so fundamental to using a computer, would be so difficult to implement. I must be missing something simple. If anyone can give me a hand, is willing to take a look at my configuration files, anything, please let me know. TIA, David
