Go back to ttyv1 and press Scroll Lock and PGUP a few times - you should be able to review the probe messages. If this is the case, you should also see ppp attempting to open it (and moaning that it can't). Essentially, the commands you type at the ppp prompt are the same as the commands specified in Gregs book - you shouldn't need to do much more than ``set authname blah'' and ``set authkey blah'' assuming your ISP wants PAP or CHAP though. You can get a summary with ``?'' and you can get back out of term mode with ``~.'' as the prompt should say when you enter term mode. > Thanks, > David > > _____________________________________________________ > David Shanes 7535 Metropolitan Drive > dshanes@personalogic.com San Diego, CA 92108 > Software Developer (619) 220-5800 x228 > PersonaLogic, Inc.
