I dunno. You see, the wierd thing is, I upgrade, all runs fine, I connect
and disconnect a few times, no problemo. Then I reboot, and bammo, no
workie, I have to reinstall 1.2. Also, when I upgrade to 1.3, a LOT of
files change, and most of 'em depend on each other. There are just so
*many* files. :-/
And I know this isnt a configuration problem, because nothing has changed
in regard to configuration. My home system, a 486dx2/80 is currently
hamm, but was also upgraded from 1.2. Nothing ever broke. It may be my
old hardware... But Im not getting any errors.
The only problem is, after I upgrade, chat will not get any response from
the modem. And as far as pppd not attaching the protocol to the serial
port after I have dialed in by hand, I do not know. I dont know where to
get diagnostics for that. Next time Im there I guess I should paste some
of the ppp.log and send it to you.
But right now I have a working setup and dont want to break it :-/
Remember, it takes 10 hours for me to install, minimum 1 and 1/2 for the
base system that comes on the floppies. This computer is ancient, memory
challenged, and slow.

I only have a 60 meg harddrive. I cannot even complete an upgrade without
periodically having dselect install what its downloaded, then delete the
.deb's
