I am running 2.2 built as of May 5 on a Pentium 150 with a Motorolla modem. The problem is this: Previously with my old service provider, all I did was login with my username and password and then type ppp and their side started teh negotiation of the connection. Now, with my new provider, I login with my username and password, and then I get a host: prompt. My ISP tech people told me this is where I need to begin the ppp process. No problem, I typed 'set openmode active' to tell my machine to start the process. It sends 5 LCP packets to the portmaster, but none get returned, and then it hangs up the line. This is frustrating, because my ISP tech people told me to not use LCP. Has anyone else had similar problems or found a solution? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kyle A.D.
