I can manually dial in to the same type of server.
However not sure if when first starting ppp I do 
ppp mymachinesname
then do term.
I do have a ppp.conf ppp.linkup and ppp.secret set up also.
I emailed Dima just awhile ago to let him know.  I think
If he has a problem to email me and I'll email him my files 
to see if it will help him
Thanks
