This is not, however, a solution to the problem. Knowing what the various options are that each of these programs will accept does not move you closer to the correct set for your particular setup. The combinatorics on these options is quite large, and made more complex by the varied, differences between one ISP and another. If I send you my options file, there is no large probablility that it will be of any help to you, unless our service providers work their end the same way. So, read the fine manpages, talk with your ISP, and if there are still options that you don't understand, discuss the particulars on this list. Debian works real hard to provide packages that "set up" in a way that will fit the majority of circumstances. This is more than a little difficult with the ppp package.

Dial up your ISP, work through the login sequence, and send me a copy, and I will try to help you. You will be helping me as well, because every time I help someone solve one of these problems I learn more about how to avoid them in the future. -- John HaslerThis posting is in the public domain.

I have been reading all those messages about PPP being so screwed UP. I must admit that here, in this one, I got caught. I have not been able to get my connection running for more than 1 minute. I suppose my ISP is not getting the right stuff, and there is no way for me to know if the contents of the ppp.chatscript file are actually being transferred to the ISP computer. It would be great is someone came up with the STRAIGHT FORWARD way of doing this. Yes: there must be about 4 variations. Explain them All! Other than that, the Debian is still a very promising distribution. So let us contribute. Please, simply post a message explaining the content of the magic PPP files! Franz J Fortuny
