PWS 500a PPP / network setup



I have installed Debian 2.1 on a 500a (miata). I have an external modem
that dials into my ISP and connects via wvdial. In /var/log/messages I
see that I have established an IP address with my ISP.

When I try to use lynx, ping or any other application, it appears to be
working but does not. i.e... no immediate errors.

Here are files I have edited:

/etc/resolv.conf
search hawaii
nameserver 206.103.240.1 
nameserver 206.103.240.2

/etc/hosts
127.001          localhost
206.103.240.1    infinet.com 
206.103.240.2    infinet.com

/etc/hosts.deny
ALL: PARANOID

/etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 127.0.0.1

permissions on /dev/ttyS0
crw-r-----

I have no clue what I have left out this time. This worked on my
Cabriolet. Suggestions?
