Thank you all so much for bearing with me this weekend as I tried to get my new ppp account working. I also posted a note on the linux networking newsgroup, and some kind soul sent a critique of my scripts that fixed the problem. I want to share it with you now, just in case you've been wrestling with similar problems. I must say I've been through lots of ppp documentation this weekend, but some things, such as eliminating the login name and password from the ppp-on scripts when using pap were not at all obvious to me.

Make sure the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file is configured. A line like [EMAIL PROTECTED] * YourISPpassword should work.
