Please help, My PPP setup was working fine on my Slackware 3.5 box. So since everything was working great I had to screw it up. I was trying to install xisp. I changed some of my ppp files permissions to try to implement the scheme that the xisp install file recommended. No I cant connect via ppp as any user other than root. When I watch the messages file using tail -f /var/log/messages I can see my chat script dial out, connect to my ISP, authenticate my user id and password and then I get the messages: Serial connection established Exit Obviously then the connection drops. Could someone please tell me what the permissions should be for: /etc/ppp/pppscript /usr/sbin/pppd /usr/sbin/pppd-2.2 /dev/modem /dev/cua2 /usr/sbin/chat and any other files that may be relevant. Or am I going down the wrong road thinking this is a permissions problems? Thanks in advance David Churchill
