after configuring tty for modem and the modem itself, the modem responded OK with the AT command.

Then, i created a pppuser. In /home/pppuser/.profile, i appended the line 'exec /usr/sbin/pppattachd server 2>/dev/null.

In the documentaion that i followed, the next step states that:

"Log on as the user from any terminal on the system. After correctly entering the user ID and password, some "junk" characters should be displayed. These indicate pppattachd activity in trying to negotiate a PPP connection. After about a minute, a login prompt should appear."

However, when i logon as the pppuser, the terminal exits.
Why?

thanks,
