My mistake was attempting to do kernel PPP, when the html docs provide support mostly for user PPP. Having followed the html docs closely, and using a little common sense, I have things working with user PPP. Still, I can't seem to get Pine to retrieve my mail. I can't figure out what my inbox path is, because it's on the ISPs system. This is a pine question, so I'll ask the Univ. of WA about it. (They are my ISP anyway). My advice to PPP newbies is: Go for the user PPP!
