If you would please....

Yes, finding out the trick about the leading "P" is very helpful. And
finding out
that the login prompt string that Inficad sends out is "> >" not "login:" is
also very helpful.

Last night I was able to get connected by manually entering:

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS2 115200 debug connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v ' '
ATD6023853400
CONNECT ' ' sername: Pxxxxxx word: yyyyyyyy"

but the ppp link didn't start ( doing ifconfig just gave info on default lo
)

Checking /var/log/ppp.log confirmed that I did get connected, at least until
my connection
timed out. So it seems there's something else I need to do to get the ppp
link going.

On a different front, I did run linuxconf and verified I did indeed get the
ppp0 account set up
with the correct info and my /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf have the right
values.

Inficad tech support has one guy who speaks Linux, I'll talk to him today
and hear what he
has to say. Crossing fingers now....

Thanks to all so far.
