You seem to have figured out what needs to be done to start up ppp on your ISP - why don't you try the supplied debian pon and poff commands? You need to change /etc/ppp.chatscript to suit your needs, (change the phone number, user name, and password - don't forget to change the "ogin" to "name") and then try "pon" as root. You can then turn ppp off with "poff", and can add any user you want to be able to turn ppp on and off to the "dip" group. You may want to check that the device listed in /etc/ppp.options_out is correct. (but I think it is /dev/ttyS1 by default) I suspect that the problem you're seeing may be caused by not putting a "noipdefault" option into the line that starts pppd (I think that the HOWTO assumes that this option is already in the /etc/ppp/options file) - in any case, though, the debian commands are easier, and /etc/ppp.options_out has sensible defaults for most dialup ppp users. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
