Thanks! It doesn't work. I can't follow your instructions exactly because I use Debian 2.0 and pppconfig has not a "Change" entry. I recreate a connection and choose "Chat" instead of "PAP" and change login prompt to "username". Below is that part of ppp.log:

I recreate a connection and choose PAP and add login lines in /etc/chat*/provider and it fails again. Why is it so hard to connect to ISP in Debian 2.0? ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hasler" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "a" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, November 27, 2000 9:41 PM Subject: Re: can't connect to ISP > Run pppconfig again and select "Change" in the first screen.
