I'm in deep trouble. Yesterday I upgraded some packages from hamm to slink, and since then I've been unable to use my ppp link. I'm writing from a non-mantained win 95 I have in hand, because I can't do it under linux.
pon stalls without dialing or returning the prompt, and at /var/log/messages there are a couple of strange "-- MARK --" messages that I don't really know are related. One of the packages I upgraded is netstd. Even yesterday I noted that I could not do a telnet anymore, but I said: "never mind" for a while and let it go. It's 3.07-5. Another suspicious move was downgrading perl to the latest version at slink, as I was told to do by some developers while I was having problems with a include. I removed perl-suid also while doing all that. Later I installed the perl-suid again. Also, login as root, or "su"ing to root doesn't work also (it stalls and does not give an error message or the prompt). If you can help me, please email me, as I'm desperate. Please, forward me at [EMAIL PROTECTED], as I'm not really being able to read the list. Thanks a lot.
