I downloaded the new PPP, made the changes to the sources, compiled, installed and as soon as I get a dump, I'll send it to you, uuencoded. I'm using a Cyrix 486DX4-100, 24Mb RAM, USR sportster 33.6K on sio1, generic 3 buttons mouse on sio0, they are on UART 16550 on board, my motherboard is PCI. This is my ppp.conf: default: set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 115200 set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ1 OK-AT-OK \\dATD\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" set phone 3778294:3773641 set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: (snip) word: (snip)" set timeout 0 This is my ppp.linkup default: delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR I use the original ppp.conf.filter except I changed the ISP's IP to my ISP's and added my news server. I also use the generic ppp.deny and my custom ppp.secret and ppp.shell. And I also renamed *.sample to sample.*. Thanks Frankenvince ~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.rocler.qc.ca/vince
