I am finally able to get it running, but have one final puzzle. The PPP.faq lists three steps to connect: 1. Dial to remote host using kermit ... 2. Exit kermit (without hanginh up the line) 3. Enter the pppd command [deleted here to save space] Using the kermit.dial script from PPP.faq, kermit violates step 2 above and *always* hangs up the line. I have tried to find kermit options to prevent this, but everything I find says kermit always closes the device when it quits/exits/etc. I have also tried various modem configs to keep modem lines from causing the hang up (e.g. AT&C0D0) I know this is a kermit question, but since the FreeBSD faq suggests this usage, I hope this question is not too far afield. Thanks in advance, I'll post my results when ultimately successful :-) Jeff betts@onramp.net cpc@onramp.net
