As crazy as it sounds, I tried it, but it still didn't work.
I can't get the PPP program to load the settings for my provider from 
the ppp.conf file. It just won't look at it.

Tried it and the ones that come with the installation. I even tried 
USING the sample files by copying them as ppp.conf and it won't even 
look for "provider" that was written in the sample! 

Like I said before, if I execute all the commands manually into PPP (ie. 
"set device...", "set speed..." to "add 0 0 HISADDR") I get a good, 
solid connection with no problems. Dialing isn't my problem, but 
auto-dialing & loading the provider settings is.

Help!
