If you set the connection named provider up for demand-dialing it isn't supposed to dial when you run pon. Pon just does 'pppd call provider' which causes pppd to create an interface and then start waiting for something to try to use it to reach the Net. When that happens pppd will dial the modem and create a real connection. That's why it's called 'demand-dialling'. Start pppd with pon and then try to make a connection with something such as 'ping -c1 www.debian.org' and see what happens. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, Wisconsin
