It works for a while if I have do it manually - no ppp.conf section specified - after I manually use the hayes atdt... cmd in term mode, it will connect, I enter the username and password and it will end up in PPP in 30-45 seconds. I can then access the internet for 2-3 minutes, before I lose connectivity ( I presume the routing expires ). It does not work this well if I attempt to use the ppp.conf to do the work. In particular, my ISP assigns a new unique IP address for each session, does NOT use PAP or CHAP, requires me to enter my username and password at the appropriate prompts. After that point, IPCP seems to startup - to get IP addresses negotiated and so on. Im not using the ppp.secret file at this time, and I have a section in the ppp.linkup file that reads [ delete all and add 0 0 HISADDR ] Does someone know of real definitive examples in the documentation somewhere ? Would someone please send me an example that works ? Thanks, Dave
