I looked at the messages file in more detail. There is an interesting thing
that has happened. When I did not use kppp the messages file shows the thing
that you are looking for when I try to connection but, now that I use kppp it
shows none of the thing you wont. Could it be storing these things in a
different file somewhere. Also, /etc/ppp/options contains nothing. Thank you
for your time and effort so far.
