Hi All, I recently set up a Linux/x system on my standalone pc at home. Everything has worked well except for DIP. I cannot get it past a message "Unknown server error." I want to use DIP to dial in to my provider using TIA (The Internet Adaptor.) I have been posting to the other newsgroups and have received lots of help but nothing has worked. I should add that while I earn part of my living with pc's, I am very new to Linux/Unix. I installed the IDECD2 kernal with the SLIP/PPP/ and TCP/IP packages. However, I am not sure that I have support for those options in the kernel I chose. I do see lines when I boot re: SLIP/PPP/ and TCP/IP. Does this mean that I have support in my kernel? The description of the disk(Q?) in the Slackware distribution does not mention this support. I have been working on this for over a week and feel pretty lost. I have read all of the man's,FAQ's, web pages and postings but I still cannot get DIP to execute.I would really like to get some Xclients up and surfing. I would appreciate any help. Since I live in DC perhaps we could arrange speak over the phone when I could be at my computer. Thanks a lot.
