I installed Debian 2.0. I AM NEW. I don't have my
modem installed some way. It is a USR Sportster 28.8 internal thing on Com
4 (ttys3 I think). poff works fine as does plog . pon does not work
because the modem reference is missing. The narrative
follows.
From the Debian~# prompt I execute pon and
get the following response:
/usr/sbin/pppd: In file
/etc/ppp/peers/provider: unrecognized D option '/dev/modem'
From the Debian~# prompt I execute fetchmail and get the fiollowing
response:
fetchmail: no mail servers
have been specified.
dselect ran appconfig (Ithink it was) and I
answered the queries and see my responses in files I have observed with mc while
trying to get the above working. So from root:
1. How do I get a server for fetchmail?
2. How do I get the modem installed in the
system?
