G'day Stan,
Forget editing ppp conf files ( fair dinkum ? ) try running " netconf "
from an xterm it's located in /bin though you can run it from anywhere. Once
there under the " names " tab ensure you have entered the DNS number
correctly - if you don't know what that is contact your ISP and they'll
issue you with a number similar to 203.34.235.10 though not exactly. No need
to play with anything else simply click on the " interfaces " tab, activate
your connection - wait for a carrier detect then start netscape, Bob's ya
Uncle....
Have fun....Mick.
