I don't know minicom at all. I've never used it. I have been thinking that I'm an idiot lately since I can't resolve this problem. I don't think it has anything to do with my isp or I wouldn't be able to connect with SuSE 8.1 & (yuck) Win ME, and tonight I installed slackware 9.0 just 15 minutes ago, probably to prove I have some brain cells left, and I plugged in my info and here I am using slack and on the internet. I'm not looking for flame. I just don't know what more to do with kppp or pppconfigure; /etc/ppp/options-pap-secerets chap. I have looked at and edited more files read more man pages..yadda yadda. I will reboot into deb and set up debug as someone else here recommended. We'll see thanks again to all this has been a real hard to figure out problem. JY
