I tried that and I did not get an error, but nothing happend. The curser
came back right after I hit enter and... nothing. I type the down command
and the same thing, nothing. What does that mean since I dont get an error.
I also have a working connection through Xwindows and have not been able to
login without X. Everytime I try (I have used a couple HowTo's so my system
is probably screwed now) this is what happens. Although one time it did
change my prompt to my isp's domain name, though I was not connected
Are "up" and "down" a script and "ifconfig" a program that are supposed
to be in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory? Is this the program
that X actually uses to dial and make a connection?
It seems that there are alot of ways to make Linux dial amd make a ppp
connection. Doing it in X was a snap but from the command prompt has just
caused me grief. I had hoped this would work :(
