PART PROBLEM
I have gotten the modem to work with kppp, it will dial out but nothing
realizes it is connected to the internet, with kvwdial I can dial out
and everything realizes it is connected to the internet but kvwdial only
works while I am in root mode. I would like to be able to browse the
internet as a normal user and not use root for it.
PART TWO PROBLEM
I followed some advise I was given about a probable fix for my problem
and I went to the update site and updated netscape, now I cant launch
netscape at all, when I go to the command line and type
/usr/bin/netscape it says I dont have netscape installed.
Any help would be appreciated. I am at a loss as to what to do next.. I
had to boot into windows to even write this message.
