You really need to read the GETTING STARTED and MANUAL DIALING sections of the man page. The ppp config file is /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. If it doesn't exist, copy the sample file: cp /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample /etc/ppp/ppp.conf chmod 600 /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and then edit the pmdemand section. You'll need to change the ``set phone'' and the ``set login'' lines. You can enable additional logging with ``set log phase chat lcp ipcp command'' - this should provide enough information (in /var/log/ppp.log) to indicate what the problem is if things still don't work. If your ISP uses PAP or CHAP, use the ``PAPorCHAPpmdemand'' section instead and set your authname & authkey accordingly. If you don't have a section with this name, you might want to take a look at http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp.html and download the latest version of ppp. Good luck ! -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
