Hello,

I am using Stefan Davids notes to connect to the Internet using Redhat
6.0 .....

Odd! - I reboot the computer and use "pppd call green" 
as per his notes and can connect to Demon (ISP) and all works fine...

The only way I can disconnect though is by typing ps and getting say 
661 tty1 00:00:00:00

I then do kill -9 661 and after a few seconds the line drops.

Whilst on-line ifconfig gives me info for eth0, lo and ppp0

If I now re-connect I get a line but cannot get on the Internet and
ifconfig shows eth0, lo, ppp0 and ppp1 !!! 

I have to re-boot in order to connect correctly...!!!

Any ideas?

Cheers

Geoff
