Netcom has a very unusual practice of requiring that your user name be prefixed with a "#" character when logging in using PPP. This is a holdover from their proprietary Netcruiser software, which used CSLIP. In other words, logging in as user "angus49" will get you CSLIP, so you must log in as user "#angus49" to get standard PPP. I don't know anything about your particular modem, either, so make sure it is not a "winmodem" that only works under Windows. -- Mike *** Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" to discuss-request at blu.org
