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.
