Here is the entire script -- I dont wish to keep sending it, because
it contains an account and password, and I will eventually forget
to edit them out GRRR! <<-() The output from syslogd is below that.

I pulled the old copy of pppd off the tape and installed it. Both 
copies are ver 2.4.0, and they both act the same. Is it safe to 
assume something changed on my ISPs end of the link just yet?

# Script to initiate a ppp connection. This is the first part of the
# pair of scripts. This is not a secure pair of scripts as the codes
# are visible with the 'ps' command.  However, it is simple.
#
# These are the parameters. Change as needed.
TELEPHONE=,,703,366,2787 # The telephone number for the connection,  CONNECTS to MEGAPIPE 
ACCOUNT=****** # The account name for logon (as in 'George Burns')
PASSWORD=*******     # The password for this account (and 'Gracie Allen')
# ACCOUNT and PASSWD are now specified on command line

LOCAL_IP=0.0.0.0         # Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0        # Remote IP address if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.255  # The proper netmask if needed (read manpage)
# was 255.255.255.0  #
# Export them so that they will be available at 'ppp-on-dialer' time.
export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD
# 
# This is the location of the script which dials the phone and logs
# in.  Please use the absolute file name as the $PATH variable is not
# used on the connect option.  (To do so on a 'root' account would be
# a security hole so don't ask.)

# Initiate the connection; gets us logged into the ppp-machine
# 
# I put most of the common options on this command. Please, don't
# forget the 'lock' option or some programs such as mgetty will not
# work. The asyncmap and escape will permit the PPP link to work with
# a telnet or rlogin connection. You are welcome to make any changes
# as desired. Don't use the 'defaultroute' option if you currently
# have a default route to an ethernet gateway.
