Re: [debian-knoppix] re: Modem problem
Hi Achim,
Thanks for your explanation.
I tried for a week to solve Internet browsing problem without result. I
hesitated whether starting kppp from user (Knoppix)/from root was the
cause. I should start kppp from super root.
The funny thing was ISP connected either via 56K modem or ADSL but I was
not allowed to browse Internet.
B.Regards
Stephen
