Dear Sirs, I've been using with success the pppd package (kernel supported). Because of the lack of demand dialing capability, I'd like now to switch to the user ppp (aka iijppp). In the first place, I've tried to do a manual connection, by means of the term program. And soon, the half of the problem: when the number is dialed, the login is performed successfully, the ISP prompts me to "active the PPP software", but the PPP prompt does not switch automatically from lower case to upper case letters, until I give the ~p sequence, which is not that automatic detection is described in the man pages. Worse still, attempting to perform the automatic procedure, my PPP software just hungs. I suspect that my ISP doesn't send properly the LCP config request, just waiting me to do so (with the ~p command). In a different environment, when connecting to a PPP dialin server (Solaris 2.4 based) set up in my own workshop, no problem at, either manually or automatically. The connection promptly establishes. Notably this time the dial in server unsolicitedly sends its LCP packets sequence. Is there an option into the PPP software, that I am evidently missing connecting to the peer of my provider? Thank you for any answers, best rgds Marco Masotti
