pppd daemon
I spent some time reading pppd man8 and after experimenting with
/etc/ppp/options I found that commenting out the "connect" line gave
me
an appearance of kppp connecting. By-the-way I have checked permissions
and they seem to be ok. So kppp's statistics box shows activity both in
the bottom graph and in the virtual modem lights. When I open lynx
though and arrow down to google I get "Alert: unable to connect to
remote host" Mozilla's dialogue box just says whatever url I type or
click on in debians local page "...could not be found check the name and
try again." And yes I have tried to dialout many times. I'm getting a
little punchy with this problem. Sorry about the email foul ups.
Should I try to reinstall the dialout or whatever software group debian
calls it with taskel? .
