Dear All, I've just been given a Viglen Dossier 486 Laptop with PCMCIA modem and one of the first jobs (after removing doze) was to install Arachne 1.7r3. I managed to get the modem driver to work and the modem is well and truly functional. Arachne will dial with it and I get the message CONNECT 28800, but it seems to fall over at the PPP stage.
The thing is, I have a feeling we've been here before on this list (years ago, it seems) but I can't remember what the answer was. How do I get any diagnostic info out of arachne to say what exactly is failing? What would stop it working on one 486 when it works perfectly on another, both with identical ISP? Oh yes - vital stats: 486DX, 20Mb RAM, 105+ (green) showing in Arachne. Using exactly the same ISP and ARACHNE.CFG settings as in my 486 desktop machine, which has worked with Arachne well for simply ages. Using bog-standard Arachne 1.70r3 with EPPPD. Any help, please, anyone? Thanks! Gerald.
