"User" ppp is tricky. You should wake up the modem, get phisical line, dial the num- ber, authenticate, set parameters... ISP gives you pap/chap option, so it must be known first. /etc/resolv.conf is here to turn simple names to ip addresses. Why not try this: install netcat and call pop3 or any other server? It will give you respond and error message. Zoran
