I added the following line to my ppp.conf file to try to get pppctl to
work
set server +3000
I also tried
set server 3000
when I type pppctl 3000 I get the following error
pppctl: timeout: cannot connect to socket 3000
any more ideas what I could try or why this would not work?
ppp is in -auto mode

You need to add a "set server" line to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. Below are two
examples from /usr/share/examples/ppp/ppp.conf.sample.
#
# Ppp can accept control instructions from the ``pppctl'' program.
# First, you must set up your control socket. It's safest to use
# a UNIX domain socket, and watch the permissions:
#
set server /var/tmp/internet MySecretPassword 0177
#
# Although a TCP port may be used if you want to allow control
# connections from other machines:
#
set server 6670 MySecretpassword
