Common problem in the early days. In a nutshell you're going into PPP too early. This could be the chat script needs changing or possibly a delay inserted. If you change it so that the last thing it looks for after 'CONNECT' is a '~' things will probably work out. Where the chat script is varies. It seems like you've got the RedHat layout so I'd guess /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0. > oops RedHat 7.1 OK so I guessed correctly. Also, you probably should look into upgrading your pppd RPM if you haven't already as the one in RH7.1 had some bugs from memory. -- ---<GRiP>--- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Answering Machine/fax: 02 4950 1194 (wait 5 mins if no answer) Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
