You do not need a modem. Since I have yet to configure my own, I'll let others tell you about which delay it is that you need to increase. -Gary- In a message dated 10/10/2000 2:07:53 PM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << I have a modem which although it is a internal and not being recognised by my system it works!! <snip> (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 >>
