Re: ISDN Dial In (solved)

[Daniel Borgmann <danny@liebesgedichte.net>]

thanks for your help, i got it working :)
i had a really long username, containing to # chars, maybe that was the 
problem.
i found out that i simply can leave out this chars.
than it works.
in the ipppd.ippp0 file i had a string like this:
user = "foo#more#bar"
it's working in the pap-secrets file this way so i thought it should work 
here too.
maybe it had solved the problem to write something like
user = foo\#more\#bar
but anyways, i don't need this #'s and now it works :)
thanks again and well, i'm really satisfied with debian yet, now i have to 
configure my x but i don't think this will be such a problem :)
great distribution
