Hi Raymond,

If your prompt changes to all caps or PPP, you're connected. You've also
lost that prompt for the duration of your connection, so open up another
terminal using your ALT Function keys. Running a trace route or a ping to
a URL is a good connection test. When you're finished, return to the
terminal with the PPP prompt and type the word by.
