When i type dial worldnet at the ppp prompt i get the following: Dial attempt 1 of 1 Warning: DialModem: dial failed I am attaching the ppp-log file even though it does not provide that much information. Apparently there is a problem dialing my modem. I am using this same modem to access the internet from my linux and window boxes. My modem is a USR(3Com) sportster 56k v90 Thanks again for helping.
