Stephen, I can now sympathise with your situation. In an attempt to run ppp as a normal user, I've caused ppp to respond to all of my requests of 'dial panix' 'set ?' 'show modem' with a "What?". Briefly, I copyed the ppp file to my home ~/bin directory. I could 'su' & start ppp, but got the "what?" with every request. I also added the /etc/ppp.* files to my home directory: ~/ppp/.ppp.* I've since removed all of those home~/bin & ~/ppp entries, and restored everything back to its original setup. But even now as root, ppp still responds to my requests with "what?". I've even recompiled ppp from the /usr/src/usr.sbin/ppp files, but no luck. I should have left it alone.
