THe problem goes further then that.  I have an account with Primenet and
when you login via ppp you have to have pri/Ppatriot in the login field.
I wonder if that is causing a problem.  I have my login script saying
s/\$LOGIN/pri/Plogin/g
s/\$PASSWD/password/g
with "login" being my real login and the password being my real password
(didn't want to send them out to everybody ;P

Anyone with any ideas?

The biggest thing is still that I am unable to get the computer to touch
the modem that is sitting on the modem port.  Is there any way to probe
this port to get it to make some activity on the modem??  Usually when the
computer turns on or if I initiate a connection from the Mac side it would
flash the led readout screen and let me know that it is being touched.
Where would I look or what would I need to change to make the computer
talk to the modem??

Thanks,

Paul
