I should read your post to the end ;-) Please provide the complete log information from pppd with debug turned on in /etc/ppp/options. So long Thomas -- .''`.

Can you post the output of ifconfig and route before and after pon? If the defaultroute is broken try to add defaultroute to /etc/ppp/options. Did you add debug to the options file? Maybe there is some enlighten log output. So long Thomas -- .''`. Obviously we do not want to leave zombies around. - W. R.

Re: pppd daemon dies follow-up
I seem to be batting zero. So I'll take a break. And come back to it. Adding noauth from kppp or internet dialer as described below just got me a 'ppp daemon died unexpectedly' message and the details box said that noauth is only available to root. removing noauth from the kppp setup (I edited /etc/ppp/options with 'noauth') gets me a connecting to network message...but it ain't so! I don't get any error messages but there is no connection. the browsers just say 'can't find the url'. lynx however says there is no connection. When I type pon highstream.net the modem dials up (as it does with kppp and wvdial) then it just sits there. No messages. when I type poff the terminal message is no pppd running and none stopped.
