Since I complained here about a problem I had initially in trying to get IIJ PPP to work (turned out I had to make sure to reset my modem to change short FAX timeout back to reasonable dial timeout), I just thought I'd follow up by saying that I have it working now. No other serious problems, though I did have to turn off vjcomp, pred1, and lqr to get it to work with the dp-2.3 software I am running on the Sparc on the other end. (I am soon going to replace that end with a FreeBSD machine :-)). The autodial features and packet filtering are very nice indeed. I have seen no problems with chat-based dial (either with "dial" or "auto") but the "term" command doesn't always seem to talk to my modem the first time -- it is necessary to ~. and execute "term" again. Don't know the reason for this, or if it has to do with the fact that I also have flexfax running. The English man page could be more comprehensive, but, hey, there is always the source, which is pretty easy to follow. - Gene
