The easiest way to do that is to plug a telephone into the socket and listen for a dial tone. If you do get a dial tone, is it immediate or does it take a few seconds to appear? If so, you can adjust kppp to wait a few seconds before attempting to make a connection. Two other suggestions about configuring kppp: First, enable logging. Second, enable sound during the period when the connection is being made. -- cmg
