But : the trouble is: I have to dial 0 first to detect the dial tone; in AT : command, it's "atx0". But when I use ppp, I don't know how to do this job : in the script. for example, some part in my ppp.conf is : default: : set device /dev/cuaa1 : set speed 14400 : disable lqr : deny lqr : set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK : \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" : How to add something to let it do "atx0" first?

Thanks. -----: ilin So, I have solved 2 problems. But for the 1st one, I still do not know how to "disconnect" a connection in dip if I want to disconnect it at any time... Also, I found a new problem for dip: 4.It seems that Ctrl-c won't work in dip, when I press Ctrl-c, it did not recognize it...(I mean, when I use the terminal mode in dip, I can't use Ctrl-c to stop some command...) Is this a bug or?? I-Lin Wang
