If you could tell me what to check, and how, I would find out if the 
kernel has TCP/IP installed or not.

OK, here is the message log after I cleared it, rebooted and tried
to pppd Southwind. I have omitted the date and time from the 
begining of each line.

I think I got it all typed in correctly. At the line with the warning about
pap-secrets the client is receiving Conf req -- sending Conf rej -- and
then sending Conf req. Southwind's line references Auth-pap. I'm not sure
about the two lines I'm sending. It does this for some time before timing
out. 

About the warning, while in /etc/ppp I entered ls -l and got the following:

total  6
-rw-------   1 root      daemon           78  May  19  13:51  chap-secrets
-rw-r--r--   1 root      root              0  Sep  19  09:17  connect-errors
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root      root            265  Jun   7  14:20  ip-down
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root      root            349  Jun   7  14:20  ip-up
-rw-r-xr-x   1 11412     11412           283  Sep  19  05:17  options
-rw-r-xr-x   1 root      root            601  Sep  19  07:15  pap-secrets
-rw-r-xr-x   1 11412     11312           207  Sep  19  09:14  southwind.chat

I thought this is showing that only root has access to the pap-secrets
file. Why would
chat think that everybody has access?

Thanks for the continued help.

Wayne
