modem

1997-07-24 Thread larry ives
I have just installed Debian off of disks. During installation I did set up the 
basic loopback for my network even though my machine is not on a network. I 
want to get my modem to dial up my ISP so that I can install some Debian 
packages off of the ftp site. I can't seem to get my modem to dial out. I'm 
using the ppp.chatscript with the appropriate modifications but my log says 
that the chat script is failing. I can't even hear my modem make an attempt at 
dialing. Am I missing some thing?

I just used the Debian installation for linux and it was a pleasure =
compared to slackware! There are a couple of things that don't work =
however.
I can't seem to execute a man page session. When I look for the man =
executable I can't find it, all though I do have some gziped man pages.
The file command doesn't seem to be present either. Can anyone help =
me?
