Hmm. have you looked in /var/log/messages to see if there is anything regarding the PPP failure on ppp1? Sounds like even though the modem connection is up, that PPP is not getting initialized. There may be a clue in that file.
Did and none that I recognized.
I don't recall if you said, do you have a windows machine around you could use to troubleshoot the connection for a period of time while talking to earthlink support about it? A friend, perhaps, with a windows laptop and modem that could be used for that?
Nope, got rid of windows finally a little of a year ago. Anyway, It's fixed now. Thank you everyone!
