Dial-up problem
This is a follow up to my previous message.
I guess I should have been more specific about this problem. I installed
FreeBSD 3.0 to see if it would connect, but it didn't either. Here are the
details;
1. I have MS Network. The local provider provides the IP address.
2. I cannot get the IP address either from WIN dial-up properties or from
the internet properties.
3. I do not know the DNS, probably server provided also as is the above.
4. In FreeBSD, a separate terminal is used (vty3). Here I give the 'TERM'
command and go back to vty1 and press return. In six seconds it disconnects.
5. It apparently doesn't dial out at all.
6. In Debian I get the same result, only a little quicker.
7. My modem type is: MD 6800-U Modem (AZT 4023).
8. I should also state that I believe this to be a WIN Modem. Correct? (It's
been several years since I've delved into the hardware end of computing,
that's why I'm rusty.)
I hope this helps to bring about a solution. (Like, does Debian, or even
Linux period, support a WIN modem?)
Thanx again
