The command pon will bring up the connection. poff shuts it down. gpppon is a GUI wrapper around pon and poff, if you prefer to point and click. also is there a utility to detect your modem ? I'm not sure what you mean. pppconfig should have offered to find your modem. so that my modem comes in the ifconfig -a command ? ifconfig will show any ppp links that are up when you run it, but it knows nothing about modems. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

With ifconfig -a Use pon and poff to dial and hang up respectfully. Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This will give you access to the modem device (ie /dev/ttyS0 or whatever). You can also use graphical tools, such as xisp, which might be more comfortable to you.
