Re: ftp & mail
After running pon and you start to hear the 'weird noises' enter:
tail /var/log/ppp-log
(at least I think it's ppp-log...I'm running Windows at the moment)
And keep running it (up arrow, enter) until you see that ip addresses have
been assigned in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx can be a 1, 2 or 3
digit number. Once ip addresses are assigned you can run ftp, lynx or
anything else you've installed and configured correctly.
