It's been a long time since I played with ppp. That said, your server might not support PPP authentication. When you log in to the remote server manually, you're doing some sort of text-based back and forth. The -s option is for PPP authentication which is some binary back and forth. If dialing 5551234 doesn't start PPP automatically on connect, I wouldn't expect to be able to use -s. But it's been a while. Russ
