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.
