It apepars that you can make good PPP connections.  So it's not
a modem problem, and it's not a PPP or TCP configuration problem.

It must be a Eudora-specific problem.

Excellent.  It means that once you have an active PPP connection,
Eudora works normally.

This tells us that if you don't already have an active PPP connection,
starting Eudora will not correctly initiate a connection.

Why this hapens is not clear.  But the immediate workaround is to
only start Eudora after you have an active PPP connection.

It might be the case that if Eudora does not see an active PPP
conneciton, it tries to dial out itself, and it does not know how to log
into the new terminal servers.  Did you tell Eudora to log in first
as *waltz, password *waltz, and then log in as you?
