Hi John, Thanks for the clarification on the whole wvdial thing.
Far as the setting, no it was not set to 0, it was commented out. I still have no idea why my MTU was set to 0. I had no firewall software running on the machine at the time. Only the default min. load of Debian "linux26" and pppd. Ether way, your fix worked. Thanks a ton! I will have more questions later about automating some of my tasks, but I want to try to figure them out on my own first :) This list has been great!

Edit /etc/ppp/options. You should find a line reading '#mtu <n>'. If the line reads 'mtu 0' you've found your problem (though I don't know how it would have gotten changed). In any case, make it 'mtu 1492'. I suspect that your firewall script may be setting the mtu to 0, though. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
