After adding 'noauth' to /etc/ppp/options kppp still fails with this message: Sep 27 13:00:46 deblnx pppd[1153]: The remote system is required to authenticate itself Sep 27 13:00:46 deblnx pppd[1153]: but I couldn't find any suitable secret (password) for it to use to do so. Sep 27 13:00:46 deblnx pppd[1153]: (None of the available passwords would let it use an IP address.) and wvdial has this output. deblnx:~# wvdial --> WvDial: Internet dialer version 1.53 --> Initializing modem. --> Sending: ATZ ATZ OK --> Modem initialized. --> Sending: ATDT3124074 --> Waiting for carrier.

I think in other distros I would get a 'we are connected' message from wvdial, but I haven't used wvdial in awhile. I don't know what the 'pid of ppd: (###)' signifies pon highstream.net dryrun gives this output: /highstream.net) /dev/ttyS4 # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net)115200 # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net) lock # (from /etc/ppp/options) connect /usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/highstream.net # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net) crtscts # (from /etc/ppp/options) modem # (from /etc/ppp/options) asyncmap 0 # (from /etc/ppp/options) lcp-echo-failure 4 # (from /etc/ppp/options) lcp-echo-interval 30 # (from /etc/ppp/options) hide-password # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net)ipparam highstream.net # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net) noipdefault # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net)defaultroute # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net)proxyarp # (from /etc/ppp/options) usepeerdns # (from /etc/ppp/peers/highstream.net)noipx # (from /etc/ppp/options) deblnx:~# using pon without the dryrun gets the modem to dial (well all these programs do that) but nothing else happens there isn't even any screen output with 'pon highstream.net" I do appreciate the responses. I will keep working on it. Thanks JY
