This setup, with no /etc/ppp/options file and only /etc/ppp/peers/provider, has worked for months when pon(pppd) is called from root. I just wanted to let my user account call pon and things went south. This has nothing to do with wmpp, it was like this before I tried using wmppp to call pon/poff. -- Brian --------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never criticize anybody until you have walked a mile in their shoes, because by that time you will be a mile away and have their shoes." - unknown Mechanical Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED] Purdue University http://www.ecn.purdue.edu/~servis ---------------------------------------------------------------------
