I have tried doing as you suggested, but no luck.  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.
