If it works with other dialups, your problem is kind of puzzling. I have
lots of Mac people dialing in with OT. All I can say is make absolutely
sure that you are runnint OT 1.1, the previous versions were all notorious
for being terribly buggy (1.0.7, 1.0.8 come to mind).

Also, the old ConfigPPP doesn't work with OT. For us, OT 1.1 and FreePPP
1.0.5 works just fine for numerous people dialing into a PM. Hope this helps.
