Re: [PLUG] ppp trouble


OK - installed the wvdial rpm and ran wvdialconf, changed phone#, user and 
password.  I am able to log in at which point, I'm at a shell prompt.  wvdial 
attempts the command "ppp":

--> Hmm... a prompt.  Sending "ppp".
ppp
bash: ppp: command not found

... and then attempts to start pppd.  Shortly thereafter the daemon dies and 
wvdial attempts a redial.  I suspected authentication.  Authentication is PAP 
and I reviewed the PPP HOWTO on this - edited my /etc/ppp/options file to 
include the following line:
+pap

in pap-secrets I have this line:
jlavin  *       password

Not connecting via wvdial.  What else should I check?  Shall I send output?

thx,
-john
