That's what it is supposed to do. -auto mode will bring up the link when it is needed, like when you try to open a POP connection to your ISP. > when i go into interactive mode, and type "dial dti.net" it says > > dial 1 of 1 > phone: 12128860541 > connect failed ppp can't talk to your modem. You should change your "set speed" line to 57600 or 115200, or even 38400. 28800 is modem to modem, your port speed should always be higher. Is the modem for sure on COM1? Do you have permissions to write to /dev/cuaa0 ? Dan -- Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 DPC Systems / Beach.Net dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82
