What happens when you try this: ppp term atdt1234567 (where 1234567 is replaced by your ISP's phone #) Your modem should dial, and you should be presented with a login prompt. If you can login successfully in term mode, you have an error in your ppp script--so send along the latest version. If you can't login in term mode, you have other problems which someone more experienced than I may be able to help you with. > Another (silly?) question is: If I can get connected in terminal mode, do I > stay connected after starting X?
