No, I haven't. That's what was doing my head in so much ! :(

Hmph. In future I should really try these things before posting. You
don't need to put a Get IP in the script for PPP, but PPP-Connect still
needs to get the IP from Demon - which it does as soon as it's
connected, and puts a message to that effect in its dialog.

As for why it crashed, I don't know. It works with no problems here.
