This works for me. If you are dialing into an Ascend TS (from memory), then the Ascend PPP s/w doesn't start negotiation until it sees a character come down the line form the client. i.e. it's expecting the client to initiate negotiation! I got around this by waiting for my ISP to throw the ``HELLO'' string down the line (a standard they use to indicate whatever protocol you asked for is about to be started), and then throw some random character at it (I chose a space for some reason). Seems to work. Not sure what affect that'll have on other implimentations tho, as I only use Ascends now. Gary
