Re: PPP Problems
1) "I'm not supposed to send mail directly to this address"
I think you are supposed to send mail like then one you sent directly to
debian-user@lists.debian.org.
2) Many users are using dynamic IP allocation.
3) Have you installed the PPP package ?
4) Here are some relevant lines from my /var/log/messages:
