Thanks to all how replied to my query. Have changed to pppconf to set up my dial-up connection. Added myself to the dip and audio groups so that as the user I can enter pon and get a dial tone but that is all, turn it off with poff. The problem now is in /etc/ppp/peers/provider which askes for a defaultroute with no explaination of what that can be. Read the man page for pppd and it mentions a defaultroute with no discription. Would appreciate any help available. TIA Clayton Stapleton
