hi Scott ... all you should need to do is run pppconfig (to set up the connection properties for your ISP), and then run "pon <name of connection configured in pppconfig>". You must have also set the IP addresses of your ISP's nameservers, in /etc/resolv.conf

I am having trouble configuring my internet connecti0on. I have it on a win computer, and the terminal window comes up with a menu, where i switch to ppp and then log in. I tried to set this up with pppconfig, and entered a pre login chat bbut i can't get it to work. Is there a way i can bring up somethin resembling a terminal window on a debian? Thanks for your help Scott ___________________________________________________ GO Network Mail Get Your Free, Private E-mail at http://mail.go.com -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
