Added this, you were right, in that I was missing it for this ISP...
had it for one of the other ones though :(
Still doesn't help though :(
The modem is a Magitronic 33.6 (don't ask, I haven't got a clue...a
friend gave it to me and swears it works on every other system he's used it
in :( ). Oh, its an internal modem, so no lights to watch flicker. The ISP
is Internet Canada, using its POP in Halifax, NS, which uses a Netblazer for
its dialup pool (figured I'd throw out *as much* info as I could think of).
Here's what I have now:
==========[ ppp.conf ]==========
default:
set device /dev/ttyd2
set speed 57600
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" AT&FM0X3&W OK-AT-OK \\dA

disable lqr
deny lqr
disable pred1
deny pred1
set redial 3 10

set authname XXXXXXXX
set authkey XXXXXXXX
set phone 4257110
set openmode active

set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0

set timeout 300

I just used Netscape to grab the jdk 1.0.2 binaries, with no other
traffic on the line, and I was lucky to get 1k/sec :( I also tried using
ncftp to send up a file to my server, and it got one file sent and then closed
the connection to to "time out"...
