Hello,

success at last !! I setup the connection using linuxconf under gnome
and then used ifup ppp0 and to disconnect ifdown ppp0 - this allows me
to go for repetative connections without problems...having said all
that I have just noticed that the machine has dialled without me
asking it to !! 

Cheers

Geoff
