Thanks for the advise Doug. What you are suggesting is substitute 'ppp' for every instance of 'pppd' in the script files? I'll try that and the 'clear' thingee on the next run. You probably remember me from the 'ftp install' debacle of '95. I finally got the CD and am running FreeBSD with much trepidation (as it is real UNIX and much more thorny to run than over protected Linux) Thanks again Keith On Mon, 22 Jan 1996, Doug White wrote: > On Mon, 22 Jan 1996, Keith Leonard wrote: > > > ps ax | grep pppd | grep -v grep > > pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDT*server number here* CONNECT ""\ > ^^^^ > > Ack.
