Marvin, Thank you for the reply. The "Warning: Could not modify /etc/ppp/pap-secrets: Permission denied" has gone away. (I notice that the line added to the pap-secrets files is different from yours my line only reads (both pap and chap-secrets) "login01" * "password" login 01 * password as opposed to: MyLoginName\@worldnet\.att\.net * MyPassword (do I need the extra stuff) However, same results. Modem dials, hangs up and dials again.
