On or about 29-Mar-96 20:44:35 ROB KNAPP typed the following words about
"PPP.eval timeout?  And other questions....".  My reply is thus...

 Hi ROB,


 RK> Hi, I think this really belongs over on on the networking board, but I
 RK> never read that....

 RK> Here is the problem.  I just switched providers, and have been trying to
 RK> connect via PPP(at 9600 baud).  I finally got PPP to work, kind off.  The
 RK>  log says  that it negotiated the ip addresses and everything.... and
 RK> then there is  suddenly a time out, and the modem hangs up.  I have the
 RK> Log from at 40  level, if that would help.....

 RK> Also, I have just upgraded my homepage to be Netscape/IBrowse compat.,
 RK> (with option for a textbrowser or Mosaic) and I can't up load the
 RK> F*&%($*&ing .html or .gifs.

 RK> I type rz, and sit there and wait for about 3 or 4 minutes until I get
 RK> really frustrated and stop the transfer.

 RK> I'm using term 4.6 and xprzmodem.library provided with that.  Two weeks
 RK> ago I could upload no problem.  I uploaded one file, did some dickering
 RK> with another, and when I went to upload that, that was when there was the
 RK>  problem.

I don't know how you were able to upload through ppp.device using a term
program unless you use telser.device in the term program. Unless your previous
ISP was just a BBS that allowed you to connect to the internet through them.
If you are connecting to your ISP via ppp.device you must use telser.device in
your term program. Also you can't use zmodem if you are connected via
ppp.device. The protocol used to transfer files over the internet is called
FTP


 RK> I've tried at different provider w/ the same results, and with
 RK> BaudBandit.device and 8n1.device as well as plain ole serial.device(at a
 RK> lower baud). So I don't think it's the device or the provider,
 RK> VirusWorkShop doesn't report any viruses hanging out.... Could it be a
 RK> memory conflict w/ one of my commidties???

 RK> Some one please help me!!!!!

I think he's a few strings short of a violin section.
