Thanks, I'll try that and see if I can drop the wv* packages too. On a side note, in the section tiled "Dialup Modem Connection" the second block of code is missing this line at the top: cat >/etc/ppp/peers/dialup <<"EOF" >Note, however, that the whole "Dealing with Passwords" section in the >Wiki has been created only to deal with Randy's objection to storing >password in cleartext even in a file with 0600 permissions. There was at >least one report that the "pcall" method doesn't work. I store my ADSL >password in /etc/ppp/pap-secets and don't use pcall. Thanks for the heads up, I think I'll use pap-secrets too Walter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
