Have been using pppconfig since Warty
Have checked and re-checked, same info as is being entered on Dapper 
machine.
Have tried default isp, and including my isp name, in pppconfig setup no 
difference.  (pon   pon internode)
Log shows it's connecting then dropping out "refused"

Have been in touch with isp, and have tried their roaming access number 
with exactly the same results.

Am a big fan of Gkrellm, hard to do without it.
I need this  new machine to function as a stand alone, have a possible 
new home for the old one,
so can't network them at least not long term.
I have tried connecting with the live CD, same result as above.

Can't understand why this should be, like Larry I have never had any 
probs with pppconfig
Is there any way I can modify pppconfig?
Thanks in advance.
