I have the same problem, I have updated to Open Transport 1.0.7 with the
patch and  am using MacPPP2.1.2SD but I never get a connection. I lose the
line after the 10th attempt at "Establishment".

Is OT a removable part of the system? I would much rather go back a step,
where my connection at least works. I am using another Mac to get this
