>First, do you have the PPP user defined in /etc/ppp.sys, and if you do,

Yes, I have it defined, (and I have redefined it many ways, all with
the same results) --

/etc/ppp.sys contains:

cntrlnP:\
	:di:\
	:li=/etc/netscripts/Pdialin.login:\
	:lu=/etc/netscripts/Pdialin.up:\
	:ld=/etc/netscripts/Pdialin.down:

I have tried:


cntrlnP:di:if=inet local.ip.num.here remote.ip.num.here:

and several variations...

I have checked the ppp.sys for any glitches with a fine tooth comb,
and also looked for extra spaces -- none found.

One glitch that may cause a problem that I didn't think about is that
I have a outgoing PPP connection going on ppp0, which works great!  I
just want to add a single modem so I can dialin to this system, and
route packets through it to the outgoing PPP... is this possible?

Thanks for any suggestions!
