Any suggestions. You need to start a PPP session on your ISP. You'll know you've gotten it when you see 'packet mode' appear on the screen (PPP can automatically determine if ppp has been started.) If you don't know how to do this then ask your ISP. Then type add 0 0 HISADDR to add the proper route. Then all of your net applications should work, given other things (such as nameserver) are set properly.
