Run pppconfig, select 'PAP' authentication, and connect with 'pon' and disconnect with 'poff'. Most ISP's use PAP. A few use CHAP: try that next if PAP doesn't work. A very few use scripted logins, which is what you are trying to use and which your ISP does not use. If you've made any changes to /etc/ppp/options undo them. If this doesn't work ask for help again. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI
