I set up the user process and kernel level ppp. It dials in fine, logs
in fine, then disconnects me with no message other than
"can't open file /etc/ppp.secrets"
for ppp and no debug message for pppd.
So I tried dialing in with ppp using the term command. I log in, ppp
starts then when it says "packet mode" I get hung up on.
My ISP isn't going to let me look at the connection logs, so I was
wondering if anyone will point me to any configuration settings/files
I could tweak.
