Sorry for the flare up. The humor just hit me wrong when I read it.
Denis replyed to another post that recalled something I had forgotten.
Did you set up any kind of network during or after your Mandrake
installation. This can cause the behavior we are seeing with your modem
Also have you used anything other than kppp to set-up your connection if
so it may also be causing a problem.
Since we have done what should work but dosn't we now enter the realm of
trial, error, and hope.
