equipment: all works fine under dos
problem: two situations follow ...

manually dialing works.
dialup PPP doesn't.

both cases result in the same "ifconfig -a" output; however ...

"netstat -r" output is as follows:

Internet:
Destination     Gateway         Flags   Refs    Use     Netif   Expire
======================================================================
MANUAL DIAL USING PPP's TERM COMMAND    (WORKS!!!)

======================================================================

can anyone tell me what's going on?
in the DIALUP case, slynx just hangs looking for my startup www page.
i do SEEM to have a valid ppp connection - it bounces back in all caps.
206.149.120.3 IS my ISPs address ... my machine is "hmmm"

(even though i'm probably just plain ignorant!!!)

ps.  is it normal to have 2 "lo" routes?
