   Here`s the problem. I need a ppp conection, but the computer center 
on my University only accept a telnet connection (after the modem
conection its ask for host to telnet). So I run iijppp (ppp -direct),
whoila the ppp> prompt is changing to PPP>. But the problem is that
the ping is only sending packets via modem and there`s no packets are
coming in. I check the route table, and (somehow) sure that there`s
nothing wrong whit it (I check it up with another host with ppp
support and it work fine).
   Do I need to be root to run `ppp -direct`?

   Thanks before for any information.
