Hi Lane
Thanks for the reply. I had problems with PPP when I started a few months
ago and fixed it by (in netconfig) enabling PAP, and fill in login name and
password, then
edit resolv.conf in /etc to:
search xxxxx.xxx (for your ISP name)
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Primary DNS)
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (Secondary DNS)
I then use usernet to enable the PPP connection. It only takes a couple
minutes to get this to work for me.
Good luck
