I've had absolutely no problems getting pppd to work correctly with my ISP,
but I can't for the life of me get iij ppp working.

Whenever I try to connect, the modem dials, the handshake succeeds, and ppp
does absolutely nothing.  Eventually the remote side drops the line.

It's a stab in the dark, but I think it might have something to do with the
fact that my ISP requires a PASSIVE connection.

I know the program allows you to configure a passive connection, but I'm not
convinced it's supported.  Has anyone else been able to create a passive
connection?

Or, is there something I am overlooking.

Thanks,
Brian
