Yes, I just responded to a message from Andre, and this echos what he said. I definitely don't need chap or pap, just the chat scripts. I didn't realize that what Solaris does is that type of chat for me behind the covers, but I can dial in manually, and yes, I send my userid, then my password, and I then get a prompt that I enter startppp from, and that starts the juices to flow. I also want to use pppd, most definitely, as KDE has the front end GUI for that, and I use KDE. However, my pppd is not starting right now and it tells me that it can't find the /etc/ppp/options file, which is not there, so I need to figure out what it wants from there and get things setup properly. I was using the online tutorial from sims@ibm.net, and have it setup as he did, but with the interactive section changed to not include the chap stuff.
