YOU DA MAN!
I finally changed something that had an affect! After reading the post
you sent just after this one I think this thing is fixable. Here's
what I am getting now after I provide user and password in the command.
Previously ppp was starting and as you noted failed because the
servers never authenticated.
In the command string I am sending ogin and word after connect. I also
tried assword. (is it ok to still chuckle when you type that?) Do you
know what prompt ie. ogin, login, etc that is correct?
I have tried nsummerour at earthlink.net and just nsummerour but both have
given the same response.
