By default debian doesn't install telnetd, which is required to accept incomming telnets. It appears your ppp connection is working fine. To transfer files you probably need the ftpd package or ssh package on both ends to use scp (though if this is a physically secure connection ftpd would probably work fine for you). cheers as always, nick [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www.fargus.net/nick Developer - Systems Engineer - Mad System Guru - MOO Sales he picks up scraps of information/he's adept at adaptation because for strangers and arrangers/constant change is here to stay
