Did you get my e-mail on the need to send a modem "AT" command (at&s0 on my modem, but this isn't standardized for all modems) to set DSR on so that the modem won't hang up between the time the chat script ends and pppd takes over? Your highly detailed diagnostic output seemed to me to indicate that the pppd's on each end were in the process of negotiation, but I'm not experienced enough in these areas to be sure.
BTW, I'm sure this list will eventually resolve your problem in spite of the tone of your postings. I understand that debugging problems like this can be very frustrating (especially when Bill M$s and his henchmen make it look so easy), but you catch more bees with honey than with a ration of sh*t. -- ----------------------------------------- Ralph Winslow [EMAIL PROTECTED] Someday soon I really MUST find a way to piss away a LOT of bandwidth on this .sig
