I verified that my ISP's system was OK by means of Win95 dial-up networking. This rules out ISP as a source of problem. (perhaps) On the 2 successfull connections "tail -f /var/log/ppp.log" showed many negotiations on the TCP/IP (I set debug to chat lcp phase TCP/IP). I was able to telnet, use lynx and even ftp netscape 3.01 to my computer. I am going to try a real SLIP/PPP connection as soon as my ISP set me up for that. -EW
