I was able to connect to my ISP using 'pppd /dev/modem ...
/usr/sbin/chat ...', get an ip address for the ppp0 interface, and get
to the internet. I then tried pppsetup, successfully dialed out to my
ISP using ppp-go but got no ip for ppp0. I tried going back to pppd ...
/usr/sbin/chat but now I get no ip address and get disconnected after
less than a minute. Is there any way to get back to where I was before
I used pppsetup or how can I tweak things so that I can use ppp-go AND
get an ip interface for ppp0? Thanks in advance.

Jim,

Maybe add the name servers to your resolv.conf will help, seems like
a
problem I had once.

I already tried that. What I was thinking of trying was removing the
ppp package and installing a more recent version and seeing if that
doesn't reset things back to where I was before I used pppsetup.
