Barry,

Thanks for the files.  These seem to match what I have, but all of the
settings (except for device) are elementary if ijppp cannot talk to my
modem.  It may seem like a 'small' problem, but without communications with
the modem, I am going nowhere fast.... :-((

tip and cu have no problems communicating with the modem...:-((
