Greetings,

I am no expert, but I have set up several PPP connections and am willing to 
help.

Item first - Please describe fully the sequence of events as you execute 
the ppp command.  Such as, I enter "ppp destination".  The machine responds 
with "Log level is 09, Using interface: tun0, ...".  Is the dial successful?
Is the login successful.

Item second - Can you show me the contents of your ppp.conf and ppp.linkup 
files, or at least the portions dealing with this connection?  Any 
passwords or other sensitive data should be replaced by asterisks.

Item last - Have you been able to connect in interactive mode using ppp's 
term command?

Most problems I've encountered have been typos or bad settings in 
configuration files.

If you got a partial message from me before this one, please ignore it.

Hope I can be of help.

Toby
