This is because pppd defaults to trying to start a PPP connection on stdout. pppd needs several command line parameters in order to work correctly. You need to specify things like what port your modem lives on and how fast that port can go. If you prefer not to use command line params you can put all the options you need in /etc/ppp/options For more info see: The pppd(8) man page (man pppd) the PPP-HOWTO (available all over the web) on your local system /usr/doc/ppp/* (especially /usr/doc/ppp/examples/*) l8r, Nate --- Nathan C.
