Hi, I am having an extremely difficult time trying to connect to the Prodiy ISP. If anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it. I have used everything available trying to connect to thei network but haven't had any luck. Apparently, as soon as I get connected my Debian PPP send the LCP packet but nothing happens after that and the connection times out. Here is what it looks like in my /var/log/messages file.

I have all the needed files including, /etc/ppp/ppp.chatscript, /etc/ppp/options, /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file. I don't know what the problem could be. If someone is getting on with prodigy or just have some advice please reply. I have the Debian 2.0 dist. Thanks, Shawn Nguyen
