Hi, This is francis. I introduced myself to you all a little while back. I'm having trouble dialing up from my linux box at home. I get it to connect (using linuxconf) and then it dissconnects after about a minute every time. When I set up the connection in linuxconf I get the following warning just before it connects: /sbin/ifup ppp0 is taking longer than usual where pp0 is the name of my connection. Can you guys help? _______________________________________________________ Say Bye to Slow Internet! http://www.home.com/xinbox/signup.html
