Thnx, > Marc Although I doubt this is the only way and I am sure not the most secure it works for my home computer so here are my files. /etc/ppp/ppp.conf #make sure spacing is kept the same - notice some lines are indented 1 space. default: #this is for com. port 1 for com. port 2 use cuaa1 set device /dev/cuaa1 set speed 38400 disable lqr deny lqr set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\ \T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT" host: #put the phone number you want to dial in place of your_phone_number set phone your_phone_number #put your actual login and password in place of your_login and your_pass #if your isp prompts you for Username instead of Login then change #ogin to sername, etc. set login "TIMEOUT 5 ogin:-\\r-ogin: your_login word: your_pass" #as you can see i hate timeouts set timeout 120000 /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup #since my ip is asigned upon dial-up i just had to let my comp. know my #isp's gateway. substitute your isp's ip gateway add. for gateway MYADDR: add gateway 0 HISADDR /etc/resolv.conf #to define your isp's namne server just replace my numbers with yours nameserver 206.149.42.254 nameserver 129.62.1.1 nameserver 129.62.14.6 nameserver 129.62.1.2 OK if I have forgotten anything I'm sure the community will let me know in their usual good flames. This is just one set-up and there are many variations on it, but it works for me just fine. Also there is a capability of setting a password. Make sure all the files except /etc/resolv.conf are owned and only readable by root and please trash all of my silly comments that begin with #. Hope this helps.
