No. She has somehow managed to get the string '/dev/modem' into her provider file as a separate string, and pppd is quite naturally trying to understand it as an option. Michelle: please post copies of your /etc/ppp/peers/provider and /etc/chatscripts/provider files (hide the password). Also, please try to remember exactly how you answered the questions in pppconfig, so that I can figure out what I need to clarify. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
