You probably need to force the de-installation of the PPP package and re-install it from scratch. I ran into that problem when I first tried to finalize PPP. Once you re-install the PPP package, follow the directions in /usr/doc/ppp/README.debian.gz That file will have the most "up-to-date" info. I kept reading horror stories about how difficult PPP was. When I de/re-installed PPP and followed the indicated file directions, PPP started up ok! The only thing which you might want to shutoff from the debian default in /etc/ppp/options file is the "proxyarp" option if you don't need it. -- -= Sent by Debian 1.3 Linux =- Thomas Kocourek KD4CIK @[EMAIL PROTECTED]@westgac3.dragon.com Remove @_@ for correct Email address --... ...-- ... -.. . -.- -.. ....- -.-. .. -.- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
