Have you tried ppp -alias impulse (it should return you a prompt like: ppp ON [your_machine_name] > where you would say : dial <enter> ??? BTW, put "Default:" in lower caps, just in case, ok ? Oh, yes: You can only run ppp when you're root. Belonging to whell does not give you the needed rights to run it or do something else. use su to become root AFTER logging in as your normal user.
