Barry, I'm pleased to see that you figured your problem out. Unfortunately my problems with iijppp do not seem to be related to the ppp.secret file. (I can use, or not use, a password with the same result). If I try to use iijppp and the 'term' command, iijppp does not communicate with the modem (no lights flash on the modem, and no characters are echoed). Quite often, but not always, the characters that I type after the term command, e.g. 'at', are buffered and are read by the shell once kill the ppp process. If I try to use iijppp and the 'dial myisp' command, iijppp responds with 'dial failed.', presumably because the modem is not responding. Of course, the modem is not responding because it never receives any characters... Any really don't know where to go from here. Does anyone have any ideas? -- Stephen At 02:55 PM 12/30/95 -0500, Barry Masterson wrote: >Stephen, > >Just got ppp working again, you might try this: > > # ppp <enter> > > ppp on moonfoot> pass MyLocalRegularPasswd <enter> > > ppp on moonfoot> dial (yourSimpleSite_entry) <enter> > >I'm not sure just what I did to change the way I normally start ppp, >but this new way; entering 'pass __________' , then 'dial host' seems to >work.
