Resetting the firmware seems to fix it.
1. Boot from Disk 1 of the 10.3 install disks. 2. Start the diskutil program. 3. Select repair disk. (Hopefully no problems in RED will show up.) 4. Reboot bring up the open firmware screen (Option - Command O-F keys) 5. reset-nvram 6.reset-all Doing a verbose on the PPP log didn't show any problems except a failure to log on. While browsing through Apple Support I saw various firmware updates for older OS's and iMacs. You may want to check those out. Good luck! Chris D. "There's no such thing as good money or bad money.
