The response is as follows :- sylmex> ppp Can' open /etc/ppp/secret Warning: No password entry for this host in ppp.secret Warning: All manipulation is allowed by anyone in the world Log level is 281 Using interface: tun0 Interactive mode. ppp ON sylmex > dial provider Dial attempt 1 of 10 Phone: (0845) 0800 1000 dial OK! login failed ppp ON sylmex > Packet mode. ppp ON sylmex > close ppp ON sylmex > quit all There are some pequliarities with Compuserve in that the login is 2 numerics seperated by a comma and the password must have a special character in it somewhere and in my case this is 2 words seperated by a 'space' I don't know what 'ppp' will do about this !!
