Good points. I remember running into this and I'm pretty sure I had to add myself to the uucp group. That was only after I beat my head against the wall for a few hours with the other groups tho. Remembering to logout and back in is what really drove me nuts. I didn't know that at first. I would suggest using Kppp if you can, at least until you get it working. There is a way to turn on logging in there that can help give hints. Thanks Mick for pointing out what I missed. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ...
