I had a similar problem when using 2.1.0, but upgrading to 2.1.5 fixed the "address already exist" problem. I suggest you enable pppd debugging (include "kdebug 1" and "debug" in separate lines of the options file), in order to see the reason for the connection to terminate. Try to manually dial-in (via Windows95 HyperTerminal), and see if you can get a login prompt. Try using pppd as a login shell instead of a getty, too. I think the getty method is for PAP authenticacion only. One more thing: try using a different username. Maybe root is not allowed to log-in from pseudo-terminals. +-----------------------------------------------+ | Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez | | Unidad de Internet/Red Cientifico-Educativa | | Depto. de Procesamiento Electronico de Datos | | Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala -USAC- | | | |e-mail: victor@usac.edu.gt, | |Telefono oficina: (502)4769723 (fax/voz) | | (502)4767719 (voz) | |Telefono casa : (502)4782916 (502)2891037 | +-----------------------------------------------+
