Thank you Beaker for your help,
after jimmying this file around a little I finally got it
to work. The more obvious changes were my ISP, UID, and
PASS, however, one that took a little more time was the
MODEM variable. I changed it to /dev/tty01 (probably not
neccesary) and then added the MODEM variable as a
parameter to the pppd Command. below is an alteration of
what you sent me. Thanks again. This message board has
won another reader and if possible, helper.
