Re: couldn't match host name or address
The problem was: When I dial into my ISP, I get a prompt that says: host: here I
type ppp then my username and password. How would I get it to type ppp? Would I
just change my ppp.chatscript to say?
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
"" ATDT7454342
ppp
login amwalker
password \qpassword\q
