I tell you what. There must be an easier method than all this poxing about with a couple of dozen config files, with examples for everything except what we need. It's worse than UUCP! Well, I've read the manual. I've even had ppp working. But each time I come back to it, I get involved in stuffing around with a slightly different setup. This time, the site I'm dialing into is a PAP site. This means that the connection simply sits there waiting for the PAP authentication, so manual dialing wont work. I dial in and get CONNECTED 38400 and thats it. Ok, a question on the ppp.secret file. > /etc/ppp/ppp.secret > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > # Sysname Secret Key Peer's IP address > <machine_name> <your_passwd> 10.0.0.1 Who's machine name? mine, or their's.

Well Kevin. I tried everything, and although I can get it to dial the site, thats as far as I get. I guess its that ppp.secret file. I see the ppp.conf.sample file has a papsite entry that uses authname authword type of thing? Is this in addition to ppp.secret, or in place of? The other thing. I had pppd working fine. But how does this use PAP? No one, including the manual knows! or at least aren't telling anyone anyway. Anyway, thanks for your clear description to the other chap, it certainly helped. > > _______________________________________ > |\ /| > | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | > | \ Kevin G.
