:-) And since when has being a SysAdmin NOT been compatible
with being clueless??? ;-) Just because it would be stupid
to do so doesn't necessarily mean that it's not possible.

Agreed. I still say the original poster should get as much
info from the remote admin as possible. Maybe (if they have
a separate phone line -- don't know what the possibility is
of that) get the sys admin to watch him try to log in and
see what the error message is. That should give him a clue
as to what the problem is.
It may be (don't recall right off if this has been
mentioned) that kppp is trying to reverse authenticate the
remote side and you need to add "noauth" in your
/etc/ppp/options to stop this.
Good luck to the original poster!
