Hi
Let me start by thanking all your for your magnificient support. I was given
a pointer wvdial at http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial a program that
automatically detects and configures your modem under linux to dial into
your isp. Really I was impressed. It took under a minute to configure my
modem and dial to me ISP and all I had to do was stare and marvel.
Well my modem is working and I can connect to my isp but I can't
communicate. When wvdial connect you to your isp it automatically starts
the pppd (ppp deamon). Once it did that I type
fpt ftp.debian.org and got the following
---> ppp daemon has died! (exit code 1)
Disconnecting at sun oct 4:20:21:54 1998
prompt~# ftp ftp.debian.org
ftp.debian.org : Host name lookup failure
ftp>
My second problems is that of making my computer use the network card. I
got a 3com905B-TX and it is not listed under the different kinds of network
cards when I use modconf to install it.
How do I go about making it work?
My third problems is getting on line help. I have just the base files
installed. To get the fill linux OS working I have to download it from the
net that why I am configuring the modem. I need the set of files that you
have to install with linux to have the man command working.
So you can get help by typing say
man rm
Thanks
Wilson.
