I feel bad that I can't get this figured out but I have reread the minicom man page
and I can't figure out how to log on to my isp with minicom. I have rerun pppconfig
I put in "binary.net" in the first line, which is my default. Using "chat" as
instructed. Doing that I would think would rewrite the old file not just create a
new one. I can get online with pon by itself ok. When I use minicom it still
connects as I described in the message above. When you said, "when you type pon and
it sees the ppp
garbage (~y}#.!}!}!}~), it'll exchange LCP and you'll be on." What did you mean?
What is LCP? When I use minicom to dial my isp then I can't use pon; I get an error
message to the effect that, ttyS0 is being used, when I do so. I don't understand
this. When I use minicom it is like I'm online but not online. I pick up my phone
and it sounds like I'm online but my email program (netscape) can't access mail, like
I'm not online. Then after awhile the connection stops and then the message "No
Carrier." I could sure use some help.
Thanks,
Kent
