Re: pppd troubles

hey all,
we are still failing to establish a connection with wvdial and pppd
(on a potato system). wvdial looks all good, until we get to the
login:

  --> Carrier detected.  Waiting for prompt.
  login:
  --> Looks like a login prompt.
  --> Sending: heikkin
  heikkin
  Password:
  --> Looks like a password prompt.
  --> Sending: (password)
  Entering PPP mode.
  Async interface address is unnumbered (Ethernet0)
  Your IP address is 216.114.40.29. MTU is 1500 bytes
  --> Looks like a welcome message.
  --> Starting pppd at Tue Jun 19 16:56:35 2001
  --> PPP daemon has died! (exit code = 1)
  --> Disconnecting at Tue Jun 19 16:56:35 2001
=================================================================

My knowledge on this is limited, but have you made sure that you
have the domain and nameserver entries in the /etc/resolv.conf
file?  I got this same sort of message when I was trying to dial
in with wvdial and I didn't have those things in my resolv.conf.

Just my $0.02.
