If you've got pppdial to connect and be useful, I'd like to know how. I
managed to get it to dial and connect up, feed my name and password, but
then when I try to run Netscape/2 or MR/2 Ice from that point, MR/2
says, "Pop3 service unavailable" so when I exit that, pppdial continues
with this:
Response file completed.
PPPDIAL V3.1 - CONNECT 38400 -
info   :

PPP return code 0
Yet MR/2 Ice works just fine if I use the Dial Other Internet Providers
program. How do I get pppdial to work?
