Hi everyone, I connect to my ISP on a dialup shell account and I'm wondering if anyone knows the reason for the following ... I am fairly certain I am dialing up a Livinston terminal server which then hands the session off to: SunOS millennium.stealth.net 5.5.1 Generic_103641-08 i86pc i386 i86pc If I connect with minicom, and get authenticated at the first login screen, nearly always the session is terminated with a message-- ******* Host currently unavailable ****** But sometimes it logs me in to a shell ... If I turn around and dialup w/NT RAS to the same terminal server, but login for a ppp session, I can then telnet to the host with no problem. Do I have something set wrong in minicom, or does the terminal server want to hear from ppp sessions *only*? What protocol is minicom using with the terminal server-- my modem's (REL LAPM, etc)? And what protocol would the terminal server be talking to the Sun machine with? It connects about 10% of the time with minicom. Any ideas why it's intermittent? Thank you. Harold Sinclair
