Here's a puzzler...
getting bizzare error messages from PPP....
I am running a p166 system with an ISA PnP internal netcomm modem (rockwell
chipset), and after much diddling seem to have gained recognition (I think)
of the modem by Linux.
I set up the PPP link as well as I could, but it doesn't connect.  I can't
tell if it is dialling as my modem has no speaker, so I don't hear the
dialling or handshaking.
The following is an exerpt from my /var/log/messages when I try to initiate
a connection under usernet.  HELP PLEASE!!
