I've never been able to connect to the Internet with Debian Linux, even though I don't have that problem with Corel Linux. Another message leads me to ask this question: Is the pam stuff needed for ppp (pon and wvdial) to work? If so, what do I tell apt-get in order to install what's missing? (I installed a Dialup package my first install, and yesterday I left pam out of my package-by-package install.) Lane ---- Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA ----
