Folks,

Installed all the relevant bits, built the correct kernel and the files from
the web site.

Modem is seen and when I do a modem_run it all goes well.  It seems happy (2
lights on though no-ones home :))

Problem comes when I try and use the pppd call adsl as it never manages to
connect.  I've tried everyhting I can think of but still nothing.  The
config I'm using is one I've found in a lot of places on the web and
everyone else seems to be reporting it works.

Question is have I just got something wrong or am I mad to even try and get
this working?  Will it work with macppc?  I'm running -current as of about a
week ago if that makes any difference...

Anything I can do to further debug it?  It's annoying not being able to see
what's going wrong beyond a cryptic message in /var/log/messages...  What
seems very strange is that the message is the same whether or not the modem
is attached!!!
Not right for sure :(
