I ran pppconfig in root account, there didn't seem to be a password in
the configuration I edited so I was hopeful. I entered the password I
use to login with my isp; saved the configuration and exited.
(Everything else in the highstream.net configuration was/is correct)
I typed pon highstream.net at a terminal/shell. The modem dialed; there
was no terminal output. I tried to use mozilla and just got that the
location couldn't be found. When I typed poff at the terminal the
terminal output was: "no pppd is running none stopped"
