I always installed as psaux - using a "normal" mouse errored, but the ps/2 aux port seems to work. (That's in the kernel modules - I checked via modconf.) Changed to /dev/mouse and it still isn't happy. Took it all out and now it's not connecting at all via PPP!
Looks like this in /var/log/messages: [date etc. cut out] CONNECT - got it serial connection established using interface ppp0 connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem remote message: login succeeded local ip address 207.14.86.189 remote ip address 207.14.86.2 (then I try to do something, or just let it sit for a while, and the next line is:) CCP: timeout sending Config-Requests ...and that's the last I can do on the link. Strange for a connection that worked fine on Friday... Do I need to have >either< kernel mouse support or GPM, or >both< or am I just confused here :-)... -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
