I can not figure this out. When I use a dialup, the first attempt after booting works fine most times But on the second attempt, it normally fails to work, stopping at:

and thats it... Problem A. With that is that dialup uses PAP not PPP and wvdial fails to detect that.
PAP is a form of authentication, PPP is the Peer to Peer Protocol and is what everything (almost) uses to communicate over among other things telephone lines. I have to say the above looks like it should look. What is it that isn't working? Don't you get an interface ppp0 if you do "ifconfig"? Isn't routing set up properly? Don't you get a nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf? //Anders
