An interesting and thoughtful response. I'll admit that the only reason I 
got ppp working with slack is because I copied out of a 
how-to.  When I switched to Debian, I quickly looked at pon, but soon 
went back to ppp-on which worked.  I've started over, and just 
can't get pon to work.  Not as easily as ppp-on anyway.  
I've tried dunc, didn't seem to work.
I saw in the newsgroups a new proggy which runs under x which claims to 
help set up ppp.  I'm not at my box at the moment, but if anyone is 
interested I'll get the url.
