    Here's what happens: I call pppd, the modem picks up, I hear
dialtone for about a second, then the modem hangs up.  I'm sure it's not
a problem with the chatscript because I am using the same chatscript and
/etc/ppp/options file that has served me nicely for several months now.
I can tell you what might be the problem: the network settings in /etc
and other setup files.  I know I should know better than to go against
the reccomendations of Yast, esspecially when the system operates
correctly, but I was experimenting with routing, hostnames, DNS etc,
etc...  What I need is some way to repair or replace these files to
support basic ppp with dynamic IP, remote server assigned hostname and
default route, plus my local loopback.  PPP and loopback are the ONLY
network interfaces that I ever use, so I hope it's not too difficult to
fix.  I would even consider a re-install of all network packages in Yast
if that would fix it.  I'll sum it up here: "Lesson learned: don't play
with a properly running system".
