hello out there: recently i have been trying to connect to my ISP using ppp. now, i know nothing about ppp, so i looked around the web, which, to my untrained eye, gave several different versions for the ppp.conf file. so far, i have succeeded in getting the modem to dial, and thats about it. i got it to do this by typing this: ppp term at atdt <number> when the ISP answers the phone, a variety of noises are made, followed by a steady annoying beep that ends after about 20 to 30 seconds or so. then, nothing. now, a number of those ppp.conf files look like they dial the phone number for you, precluding the commands that i used above. ppp.conf also contains entries for CHAP, which is what my ISP uses. this file is not being looked at. how do i get ppp to look the ppp.conf file? any help is appreciated --aaron "Disgruntled?
