You didn't say what you have your diald options are set to. I have: mode ppp local 199.249.10.89 remote 198.175.8.2 defaultroute modem crtscts connect "chat -f /etc/ppp/chat-script" dynamic set at the end of my /etc/diald.conf file, and it works great. The only ppp option I have set is "noipdefault" because my internet server does dynamic IP address assignment. Hope it helps. ded
