I am almost there! PPP dials out, logs in, and the lower-case ppp turns into upper-case PPP. What next? I have tried keying in "shell" at the prompt--is this correct? (I am doing this from the shell, I haven't gotten X working again yet.) I got a terminal, as I expected, but when I tried lynx, ftp, and ping, only ping worked. Oh, by the way, the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf script didn't dial out until I commented out the line "net:". The modem clicked to attention, but it then didn't know what to do. Hmm. Thanks again for your help. -- ________________________________ Chris Booth cbooth@onyx.interactive.net
