Looks fine to me, so long as there's a time interval between the last two lines. You need to run pppconfig with the chat method of authentication. The when you type pon and it sees the ppp garbage (~y}#.!}!}!}~), it'll exchange LCP and you'll be on. > If I put an "S" in front of my login name it takes me to a shell > account.

Then you don't need the shell account, just the ppp connection. > The reason I'm trying minicom > is I'm having a modem problem when I use "pon" and "poff"; if you have > been following the "modem freezeup" string you'll know what I'm talking > about. How do I get this to work? Tell pppconfig the username and password as above, using chat (not chap or pap) authentication.
