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.
