The pppd files are in the 'dip' group.

Have you tried setting up ppp with pppconfig and using pon and poff? I know you want to use wvdial, but that might give you some diagnostic information. I don't understand why Avery wants you to use 'local'. That turns off use of the modem control lines. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
