Jeff,

I feel your pain :)  Took we almost a week to get PPP running.

See my comments below.

See below.  If it doesn't work, send me a copy of your "show log".

Looks fine.

We may need to change this later.  (Some say you should switch bind and hosts.)

Try changing the "set ifaddr" line to read:

set ifaddr 10.0.1.1/0 10.0.1.2/0 255.255.255.0

This says try the guesses, but "/0" says I don't really care if you use any of 
the bits if have given.

I think this is your main problem.  Your ISP can't negotiate with you.

Another thing you could try is switch the label to be "AV".  Although that is 
not really necessary since you've done this in ppp.conf, already.

>******************************************************************

Looks fine, as well.
 
Try these few things,and you should be running.  One other thing though, 
after you connect with ppp, you'll need to add a default route to your ISP.

This is done after typing ppp -auto AV, by typing:

route add default 10.0.1.2

PPP will change this to be what it needs after the linkup.

Let me know how it goes.
