They work fine for me with my current, and most of my previous, ISPs. I have had one ISP where the PPP server on the remote end just wouldn't respond to them. This could be your situation. For the record, this is with kernel-based ppp, running under NetBSD 1.2_BETA. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michael L.
