Barry, Thanks for your help so far. I did recompile the ppp code last night, and found that the new binary was ~100k vs. the original of ~85k. When I ran the program it exhibited the same behaviour, i.e. no characters sent to the modem. I just tried chmod as you suggested, but the results are the same. I am also hoping that one of the PPP/Unix comm gurus will 'step up to the plate' on this one. Perhaps they are are all enjoying the New Year's holiday, and I will hear from them soon... -- Stephen At 09:43 AM 12/31/95 -0500, you wrote: >This is a tough one.
