Re: PPP stuff continued... (Up and running w apt-get, netscape!)
Hi,
I don't know what let me to think that pon and diald were related.
I probably installed diald a while back in preparation to get PPP
working after I got an ISP that supported PPP. In any case, I don't
think there is anything wrong with any documentation at all. I just
had a lot of new things to learn about all at once.
I just grabbed netscape-smotif-45 through apt-get, and I am using
it to send this mail (through hotmail's site).
I deleted my provider script, reran pppconfig, and pon now does
everything for me automatically. I didn't have to change any
files.
I've been tailing ppp.log and it still rejects a negotiation for
compression, but everything is working though. I also changed
auth to noauth, as the CHAPS authentication fails. I expect to
talk to my ISP;s tech support tomorrow and ask them what I should
do, or even if this stuff is expected to work.
All in all, I'm thankful thinks are working on the net!
John
