Yes.  Absolutely.  With minicom I do the entire login manually including
the last step of entering ppp.  My ISP tells me that I have established
a connection and dislays my IP address.  Then I see this stuff:

~~y}#.!}!V} }4}"}&} }*} } }%}&.}+.a}'}"}(}"aY~~y}#.!}!W} }4}"}&} }*} } }

scrolling across my screen and I exit minicom without resetting the modem.

I then immediately execute the pppd command.

This is the same procedure which always worked with Debian 1.3.1.
I'm doing it exactly the same way.

Once again, thanks for all the help with this.
