Thanks how far does it get? I assume you are dialing into an isp? if so what exactly happens. If you're having problems using ppp to connect to your isp let me know and i'll show you what worked for me, you may get an idea from that. if you are you need to know if your isp supports pap or chap, and whether you have a static ip address or dynamic ip addressing (more common i think).
