Honest, I'll quit whining eventually.

Ok, it's PPP time.  I've just about memorized the whole 1 paragraph in 
the FAQ, so I can ftp to ftp.macbsd.com/private/wrstuden and download 
ppp.setup.tgz in my sleep.  I can even quote chapter and verse of most of 
the ppd man pages.  What I can't do is connect, and I think about half of 
this is the inability to see what the heck is transpiring on my serial line.

Is there a way to monitor the signals sent and received?  I have kdebug 
set to 4 in the options, and I've looked at every syslog on the planet, 
but nothing tells me what's going on.

What's going on?  It dials, it negotiates a connection, it blinks the I/O 
light for a few minutes, then it disconnects and re-dials.  That is about 
all I can tell you with the information at hand.

...and I thought VMS was a pain to set up  :)
