	It doesn't appear except as last line below:

	How do I fix that?  That's the TIMEOUT parameter?  Increase it from 5?

> Can you establish a ppp connection using minicom?  
	As a matter of fact, yes, since sending my last email to you and the list,
I have connected twice using minicom.  But of course, it prompts you for
login and for password.
	Then it told me I was establishing a PPP session, then it showed my ip
address, then it showed MTU 1534.
	For the life of me I don't know how to use minicom.  I went to Netscape,
but it still didn't work (being able access web pages).
	So, basically, I can't dial in using pppd, but I can using minicom, which,
at this point, is worthless to me.
	
	Am I having fun yet?
	Thanks for the help everyone.  I'm farther along, but the prize is still
on the other side of the fence.
