For couple of days I am trying to set up my dial up account. Teh result was, not incouraging. For now, my modem is dialing out nicely. The school BBS was easy to acces. My ISP? No. Somewhere I read that calling through minicom can get me started with some info in my ISP, so I dialed it. Thies is what I got: =========================================== Welcome to InterSATX System Password: I closed minicom and tried netconf. I've set it up as the HOWTO said and it dieled nicely but after about 1 min the connection died. When I tried to do the same with the GNOME ppp utility, the terminal screen showed that same messege minicom showed (System Password:). I called my ISP and he said that my ppp is not starting and that is why this message shows up. I have a static IP address so I would like to have that option enabled. Please send me info on the critical files that need to be changed to get the thing going. After all this I want to try to configure it manually.
