As you have found out pppd is very hard to configure and debug, that's why it was re-written along time ago and is now called "user ppp".
Read man ppp for details on how to config and use. That's what is most commonly used today. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of gffds fsdff Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2004 7:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: pppd (Server) I have downloaded and installed kermit, typed in the configuration as listed in "18.3.3".

I do not know where to set the device for listening (I want to use a v.92/56k modem), in kermit.dial, I know I am supposed to change the username and password, but I do not understand how it is to be done.
