I had no succes in getting PPP to work either, I think I tried all the
different scripts and only the error messages changed. Finally
I did come accross a little program what helps setting up Linux called
"Linuxconf". This did it for me, had PPP working in no time. You can get
it from<www.solucorp.qc.ca/linuxconf>, v1.8 is out now.
Good luck.
