- I think I might have 2 possible solutions, as I am suffering from the
- same thing. I called my ISP and asked for help. They said that
- sometimes the config PPP open button is ghosted because PPP has not
- been selected in the MacTCP control panel. Try selecting PPP in your
- MacTCP control panel and then see if the ghosting disappears.

- If that doesn't work, (it did not work for me), then the problem may
- be with your RAM. I have a DKB 3128 memory expansion board with an
- 8Mb SIMM and 4Mb SIMM. Config PPP did not work with both simms
- installed, but it worked with just the 4Mb SIMM. Actually I am
- writing this now with my computer open and with the 4Mb SIMM installed
- as I have been trying to do some troubleshooting. If you have a fix
- on how to get all the memory working, let me know! Otherwise try
- mucking about with you memory in differnet configurations or disable
- the memory on your Fastlane. Hope that works!
