*sigh* I suppose I'll answer this *AGAIN*. Look at the FAQ, or even
at these lists... The first suggestion people make is that you might
want to enable logging to see what ppp is actually doing. When you
do that, you'll see that after sending ghulam as your password (I
take it that's a fake password!), you're expecting your ISP to send
``col:ppp''. I'd be surprised if this is really what you want.
Perhaps there's a space missing somewhere ?
Also, I take it your mailer not only mangled your message into html,
but also stripped the leading spaces that you have in your config
file. The only lines that should not be indented are the labels
themselves. Later versions of ppp look out for this and moan a bit
when they see unindented lines that don't have a ``:'' as the last
character.
