There has been talk that the V2.0 PPP is broken which is why it was left out by default, but we have it working here OK with assistance with various from this newsgroup, and a couple of source changes. If you need these changes, drop me an Email, and I'll forward all my replies I had from people when I had the same problem. Wayne Taylor wayne@office.zipmail.co.uk
