Re: Unsupported protocols??



The goofy thing is that this only happens with one of two dial-ups that I use.  The one
that is giving me the messages described almost always works fine w/ Windows ,is
intermitent at best with Linux (although it didn't used to be), and is to a 56K modem
pool, while my other connection has always worked fine w/ Windows & Linux and is to a
33.6K modem pool.
