Hi everyone, Just got back from my brother in law. He set up Mandrake 7.2 and needed help. He could not get his modem to life, couldn't get a kppp session going, nothing. After some checking and asking, I found out that he installed his machine as a server, with high security set up. None of the programs he could need (rpmdrake, kppp, minicom etc) were installed. After setting up a custom workstation things suddenly worked like a charm :) Paul -- Air is water with holes in it. http://nlpagan.net - ICQ 147208 - Registered Linux User 174403 Linux Mandrake 7.2 - Pine 4.31
