Re: this is probably too easy
you know you might be right :) i just phoned my isp and they confermed
that i had to send a lowercase ppp to activate my ppp session
lots of rolling eyes and gasping
well i am going to go home tonight and check if it is the case i will
be very angery and very happy because i have spent about 3 months on
and off and even resorted to using windows :( anyway if it does work i
will start pestering yall with questions about gcc :) and if it doesnt
well ......
:)
thanks for ur help

It's not just that Linux has a bigger dick than the others,
it's also not prone to pre-mature ejaculation and failure
