When I was setting up the new ISP in pppconfig I pasted from a document I had mounted from my MS Windows partition (vfat) and it must have included some of those weird control characters. I used fromdos (part of the dos2unix package) on:
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets /etc/ppp/peers/sysim /etc/chatscripts/sysim And after that no more problems and I was able to connect using my new ISP Sysim :-) Zach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
