When you work with Dual Pentium Pros that crash all the time, and
then sitting beside it you see a Linux machine we setup with a 166
and ONLY 16 megs of ram (instead of 128) that runs webserver, DNS and
mailserver, you wonder what the hell is going on.

Another e-mail I got from Linux-PPP suggested this:

So I am sure I can try both of your systems. My only fear now is
how to bypass the "Network" prompt when it comes up. I'm sure that
if I put an expect, I should be okay.

Thank you so much.
I am rather new to Linux.. I managed to install it and run it for
now. I got some stuff up and running by trial and error (I guess the
best way to learn) but I need to upgrade my software and I would like
to connect to download it via Internet. AS for PPP, I have no clue
the version yet, but I think it's at least 8 months old now.

Oh boy.. thanks =)
