Hmm, can you list the configuration files for us?
("ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts")
You also shouldn't need to use adsl-start directly, just "ifup ppp0" or
"ifdown ppp0" or the network control program. Also, please give us the
contents of the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 without
the "USER='...'" line.
Normally you would configure all networking stuff through
redhat-config-network (which will be renamed to system-config-network in
FC2), not through adsl-config.
