Hi list,

Sorry about the previous subject line ;-)

Now ping tells me blah blah blah "Dest Unreachable Bad Code: 9"

Here's another thing; when I attempt to activate the interface from
within redhat-config-network there's a pause and then the activating
network dialog dissapears.  The Devices status remains "Inactive" but a
quick ifconfig shows ppp0 is up.  What is going on?

Why am I getting Dest Unreachable?

>netstat seems to indicate there is NOT a connection present.

thanks again all,
