When you work with Dual Pentium Pros that crash all the time, and then sitting beside it you see a Linux machine we setup with a 166 and ONLY 16 megs of ram (instead of 128) that runs webserver, DNS and mailserver, you wonder what the hell is going on. > Connecting pppd to an NT server is tricky, but do-able.

Another e-mail I got from Linux-PPP suggested this: On This Day, In The Year of Our Lord 15 Mar 97, 18:12 "Re: Dialing In a Windows NT server" By Uwe Thiem: > You don't need a login prompt.

My only fear now is how to bypass the "Network" prompt when it comes up. I'm sure that if I put an expect, I should be okay. > Remember to do "tail -f /var/log/ppp.log" so you can watch for error ... > when I got my configuration files right. > You can also set a "verbose debugging" option for pppd, which shows ... > Which version of pppd are you using? I upgraded to 2.3b3-2 last Thank you so much. I am rather new to Linux.. I managed to install it and run it for now. I got some stuff up and running by trial and error (I guess the best way to learn) but I need to upgrade my software and I would like to connect to download it via Internet. AS for PPP, I have no clue the version yet, but I think it's at least 8 months old now. > Good luck.
