That do you mean by "terminal login" ?

I shall try that out if I have no success soon!

I will try a simpler /etc/ppp/options file

Does this mean you do not have your password, username in your chat script
at all and only in the chat/pap-secrets

I actually have nothing in it.  I was using chap-secrets since thats what I
thought tpg used.
I will try using pap-secrets and will of course make the permisions correct.

Thanks once again!
