line option if you start it with init!)

You were right, PPP was fine. I tried using kppp and once I figured out how the user name and
password were translated it connects fine. So now I don't need the silly Java app that Juno uses as
a front end. I'm really glad of that.
I don't know why pppd was getting killed so quickly. Maybe something changed that prevented the
Juno app from recognizing the connection.
So thanks for giving me pointers that got me thinking about the different things happening and how
to pick them apart.

15 years of experience troubleshooting PPP and unix/Linux serial
connectivity goes a long way toward knowing the right questions to ask.
:) Even so, I still get stumped once in a while and it takes a lot of
digging to figure it out.<br>
