When installing 2.0.5 I select the PPP option. I use the terminal emulator (in the other Virt terminal) to dail nectom. The problem is netcom's terminal servers must be looking for PPP at contect time. If it doesn't see PPP it assumes you are an ASCII terminal and forward the connection to a "shell" server as apposed to an "IP" server. What I need is a way to start PPP BEFORE I get my login prompt from Netcom and have a PPP script enter my login/passwd for me. Is this possible???? Thanks in advance Ron
