RE: X server not working
I, too, once had this problem with. Just make sure that /usr/X11R6/bin
is in your path.

This means that somewhere (most likely in the /etc/ppp/options file)
pppd is getting the "proxyarp" option. Naturally proxyarp is not
useful (and may be causing ppp to fail) if you don't have a network
card.

This often happens when you don't get past the "chat" with the other
modem to log in. When you try to connect to a host which prints out
a user-readable "login: " and banner screen, naturally all the data
which is printed out will have bit 7 = 0 since there aren't any
standard printable characters with an ascii code above 127.

I don't know if the above will completely solve your problem. It
generally helps those of us trying to help when you include the
*actual* error/log messages which occur. Remember, when asking
a question of the list keep in mind detail, clarity, and brevity.
