cat  /proc/interrupts ==

setserial -a /dev/ttyS4 ==

NO CARRIER

it looks like no pppd was started when i ps -eda during this terminal 
dialing.  monitor seemed to ask
the right ?s and when responded to properly looked like a session was under 
way but without the
deamon running is it possible??  the amount of time that passes from ppp 
session beginning to
no carrier is approx 30 seconds.  Well, I hope that may shed some light on 
this problem I,m having
Thanks for the tips and if you have the time any further assistance is 
welcome and appreciated.
thanks again...lynn
