Hello, I have put a few different distro's on a PII 233/64, and can easily see how this can supplant whatever Microsoft OS I have on my main machine. In fact- I would like to install Mandrake or Redhat on my 1.2 gig tbird, as everything I need is there. EXCEPT 1 THING!!! I have tried to connect for the last month on a dialup account using KPPP- or whatever other config utility I could find, but ALWAYS timeout after connect. I have visited many sites that go over KPPP, and I do know what DNS #'s are, and most of the options are. I always have manually configured my accounts in Windows whatever. I dialout, I connect, I see the connect speed, but it seems when PPPD starting- it times out. I am using PAP, as I should. Does anyone here connect through dialup using Net1plus? I live in Fitchburg. Net1Plus has been NO help whatsoever. All they are allowed to do is give me DNS numbers, and POP configs- but I already know that stuff. Thanks, Chris
I have been using Net1plus with Linux for 4 or 5 years now. I just use a script based logon with KPPP. Works real slick.

So mail him the script and we can all go to sleep! What's KPPP? I'm starting to think I guessed wrong. -- -- Keith Wright <kwright@free-comp-shop.com> Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop <http://www.free-comp-shop.com> --- Food, Shelter, Source code. ---

Then click on the Scripts tab, fill in the expect-send strings, save it, and enjoy.

KPPP? Some sort of KDE magic window thing? My first advice would be to dump it and try connecting with your own hand made scripts. Then you have something to work on.
I have visited many sites that go over KPPP, and I do know what DNS #'s are, and most of the options are. I always have manually configured my accounts in Windows whatever.

/usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -V -f /home/kwright/dial-gis' /dev/ttyS1 38400 -detach crtscts modem defaultroute debug user kwright remotename Galaxy & If you have something like this in your scripts, make sure the -V and debug are there. Do you see nothing after the speed? Try sending something (like "\r\n"). They should send you a login prompt. If you don't have it set up to show what is sent and received , the first step is to get that done.
Does anyone here connect through dialup using Net1plus? I live in Fitchburg. Net1Plus has been NO help whatsoever. All they are allowed to do is give me DNS numbers, and POP configs- but I already know that stuff.
They say that's all they're _allowed_ to do? I suspect it is all they are barely competent to do. -- -- Keith Wright <kwright@free-comp-shop.com> Programmer in Chief, Free Computer Shop <http://www.free-comp-shop.com> --- Food, Shelter, Source code. ---
