Re: Problem connecting with ISP - update



Hi,

No, I don't think that this is a problem, it didn't work before I
changed the permission (I changed it according to the PPP-Howto, to 740)
so there is something else going on. The thing is that ppp doesn't seem
to start up on the server, and I have no idea how to get it started.
When I use minicom to dial in it just hangs up with a "NO CARRIER"
message, although I know I have the correct phonenumber and it works
without a hitch in win95.

regards,

Guðmundur
