I almost seem to be there now--judging from the log file, I have the remote machine attemtpting to start. But they're still not talking. Here's the end of the file:

Don't the garbage lines indicate that the remote machine started? and here's the corresponding entry from it: Aug 14 15:33:31 eyry pppd[1647]: pppd 2.3.5 started by hawkppp, uid 1005 Aug 14 15:33:31 eyry pppd[1647]: Using interface ppp0 Aug 14 15:33:31 eyry pppd[1647]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyp1 Aug 14 15:34:01 eyry pppd[1647]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Aug 14 15:34:01 eyry pppd[1647]: Connection terminated. Aug 14 15:34:02 eyry pppd[1647]: Exit. I seem so close, and yet so far. If I ever understand any of this, I'll try to write a simpler howto . . . \
