I solved the ppp problem by setting up things correctly. :-) One thing was setting the correct tty(!) Sorry, my apologies. The other thing I did involved substituting ATDT with ATDI as I have an (external) ISDN Adapter here. On the other subject of modules, I have to apologise again as I booted with the wrong(!) kernel into the right system. :-) See, I have two different distros installed over two harddisks. Now I'm still having initial trouble with correctly setting the other distro's LILO to boot debian. Now, after having done all that, I needed to delete the defaultroute as it wasn't set correctly and as pppd doesn't replace a defaultroute that's already set. I did this by editing /etc/network/interfaces. I commented out the last line containing "gateway". I just want to know if that's the correct way. Thanks for your support! I love this stuff! Sven
