Greg: I thank you kindly for your rudeness, and your comparing me to a drunkard was greatly appreciated, as to the questions you asked, they were all answered in my email, had you read it thoroughly. "What are you using as a dialer (pppd doesn't dial)?" I had stated midway through the email: >> I was under the impression that the kppp dialer would >> automatically add the necessary entries permanently, or at to which you replied: >> Temporarily. This (in my opinion anyway) implies to me that the kppp dialer was used. >> "First we need to know what's wrong with your PPP connection. >> The routing will take care of itself (hopefully). Where are >> your config files? Have you done the chat script in debug >> mode? Greg" Now, to recap my entire email to answer the rest of your questions, the problem with my PPP connection is that i had set it up originally to conduct PPP activity through a network card, and now i want to have it set up so that my modem can also use PPP while i'm not on the network. Since i try to connect using ~*KPPP*~ which automates all of my config files, and scripts, they don't apply. Now, Kppp dials into my ISP fine, a login prompt appears on my terminal, i enter my username and password, i get a bunch of !$~@$%^!#$%#!~%$! type stuff and push "continue". Then, kppp continues with a little message says "attempting to start pppd" or something along those lines, and it never connects. I was assuming (i'm no expert) that it was getting confused having a network card and a modem both configured for the same IP and same settings all the way around. But, it could be anything. Please help me out if you can, and keep in mind, no response at all is better then a rude one patrick.
