David,
After your ISP starts their PPP server (I assume that's their message you
are seeing in the minicom display), are you then manually starting your
local pppd client? If not, that's what you are missing. You need to
run something like:
pppd /dev/cua0 38400 idle-disconnect 900 noipdefault \
domain .pcisys.com crtscts modem /dev/cua0 defaultroute
If you are starting pppd, does any useful information show up in your
system log (/var/log/messages) relating to pppd? If you are starting pppd
and nothing shows up, try increasing debugging level (debug in the options
file, or start pppd with -d option). If it's awefully long, send it to
only me and not the entire list. ALSO, PLEASE make sure you check this
information over carefully to REMOVE any visible signs of passwords
(alphanumerics, hex dumps, ...). If in doubt, don't send it. I don't want
to know your passwords and readers on the list don't either!!!
