    Yeah I knew I left ping on too long..I wasn't sure if it exited on its
    own. I'm wondering if the exit status isn't the result of my finally
    doing ctrl-c ? Anyway I do appreciate the help-this has been one pain to
    resolve. I will check permissions on /etc/ppp/ip-up.d and recently there
    have been no error messages when using pon (not that I remember) but
    I'll try again. I don't know how many scripts there are in the file
    /ip-up.d but I will try what you recommended. Unless of course the
    permissions check produces something. I also wonder if I could just copy
    my SuSE ip-up.d files to debian? Although they might not be compatible.
    Thanks again. JY
