Re: MSN access with wvdial not working.
John it is easy to setup MSN...make sure you are set up for PAP...your
username MUST be in the format: MSN/<username>, password is
normal...otherwise it won't authenticate when you dial up...this has
probably been the problem all along...msn must be capitalized using a
forward slash like I typed it..
