Post us the actual contents of the logs and your ppp.conf (with the username/password blanked out) and we will have a better idea just what is going wrong with your system. -- Note, if you have special characters in the username or password you need o escape them i.e., [EMAIL PROTECTED] would be [EMAIL PROTECTED] However, this is not always the case depending on the isp.
