Thank you to all those who replied to my post and my apologies for not
saying so sooner.
My problem was that, when I followed instructions that I'd been given to
create a connection between two computers using pppd, no connection was
created.
To me this sounds like a "black magic" kind of solution, but the problem
has gone away, so who am I to complain?
The instructions I'd been following hadn't told me on which of the two
computers I was to run the pppd command first and I'd taken it that I
was to do it first on the sending machine.
After many failures, I ran the command first on the receiving machine
and the connection was established immediately.
Thanks again,
Leslie
