This one had me swinging for a few days, until I realized that a lot of stuff going
onwas shell script files!
Try to edit ppp-on and read it and determine the next script it calls, then check it
out too.
Say hi to George and Gracie for me. hehehehe (you'll know what that means when you
get there)
Make sure that everything jives, with your setup. My silly system kept calling
555-1212 because it was the placeholder in the script! It was driving me nutz!
I kept editing the configuration files that pppsetup made for me, and that didn't sem

to make a difference. I thought it was my modem init string, I had an ampersand in
there
and thought that maybe I wasn't escaping it correctly. But that wasn't it at all.
Now if I can only get my other system, with Caldera loaded into it to be a bit more
responsive.
And it says right on it "EXTEND your system to the WORLD" Yeah right!
Slackware rulz!
Oh boy, you really DO want help don't you?
Look at all of the cross postings this is gonna make, OK, this time....
But you make me feel like such a SPAMmer!
