Could you please reply to this and include your ppp script (/etc/ppp/peers/<script>) and your chat script (/etc/chatscripts/<script>). It may be something as simple as the wrong com port to the latest version of pppd. (Hint: I find that the latest version of pppd from potato (2.3.7.x) does not work for me) Avi Shevin anshevin@aol.com
