Any user in the adm group can read (all) logfiles (remember to relogin
after adding the user to the group). For now, you can just su to root
in a xterm.

Start xisp as "xisp -debug" and try to connect. Then check the logs.
Also mention what kind of connection this is (terminal login or direct
PPP or such).
