Hello there,
I am a newbie as well and I have a problem:
I want to connect to the internet
I have an ISP (tel number, login and password)
I have kppp and some other programs (gnome-ppp) as well as netconfig from
drakeconfig
I have a modem which although it is a internal and not being recognised by
my system it works!!
(it even works under real DOS !!!)
Saying that it is really slow to communicate with my system, it may take
half a minute or more for the info to go to my modem
I therefore configured kppp and everything and my computer dials out
when it goes to sending the login and password:
1. either not sends it at all (if it is in pap connection mode I think)
2. or it sends the login and then by the time it sends the password the
terminal shows incorect pass try again and hence my password is being send
as a login
What can I do??? (apart from bying a new modem!)
Also: i have connected once using netconfig from drakeconfig and everything
worked but then the modem is even slower to communicate with the system
kppp thinks it is connected (and it is propably) but in reality I am
not as I cannot access the web
Many thanx
Costas
