AFAIK quitting MacPPP explicitly was the only workaround. If you want to stick with MMa 2.0, you could try a newer version of MacPPP or FreePPP, downloadable at ftp.info.appel.com (MacPPP) or any InfoMac mirror (FreePPP). But I rather think you'd better get Mma 2.1 or higher, which, besides not having this problem, are a lot more stable and capable;-) Lars ==== [MESSAGE SEPARATOR] ====
