I set up my connection to NetZero using pppconfig, and then type pon NetZero to connect. After it's done connecting, it pauses about 30 seconds, and then hangs up. There's no output to the console. I've tried PAP, CHAP, and CHAT, but none of them work. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? -- Deven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

It does sound like something that happened to me a while ago, and plog said I needed ioctl support in the kernel. Hereward

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Are you using the free version of netzero? If so, AFAIK it requires a specific windows client to show you the banner ads. Maybe the paid version also requires the windows client and just supresses the ads.

Colin Marquardt said: Hmm. Do you maybe have knocking on the line enabled? (Sorry, don't know the proper word for it. It's just that you can hear that someone tries to call you if you already have a connection.) That might disturb it. You mean call waiting? I used to get bumped offline by incoming calls, but the error correction on modern modems has gotten good enough that they recover from the call waiting beeps... There are a number of (apparently) standalone devices that have recently come on the market which will detect incoming calls and let you put a dialup link on hold for a certain amount of time. They look like they should just plug right into the phone line without needing to talk to the computer, which would make them OS-independent. Have you looked at any of those? -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P L++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI D G e* h+ r++ y+

I still have some hangups as well as the original poster, so maybe it doesn't always succeed. And maybe the beeps are different in different countries.

No. Don't know whether they are even available in Germany. But I doubt they would work well with standard timeouts in the apps... -- 14.
