PPP is a breeze.. see the pppd and chat man pages, the only problem I had was that the modem wasn't being talked to properly on the tty - I did a "stty -f /dev/ttyb clocal" and it seemed to fix it. then: pppd ttyb 19200 -connect 'chat "" ATZ OK ATDT3434343 CONNECT "" ogin: userid sword: password' -modem -defaultroute (all on one line) works for me.. you can tweak things, but that should get it going.. you don't need to specify your IP addresses or routes or anything, the pppd program sets up everything and takes it all down again when the connection is closed. ]ain
