I live in the big city, where the majority have high-speed, via phone or cable. I'm finding that my 56K modem is working fine -- better than I remember 56K modems working (perhaps because there is less dialup traffic.) Good to try high-speed though, for running webservers and stuff. Anyway, thanks again. Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

See the comment which refers to PAM in the article below: http://lantech.geekvenue.net/chucktips/jason/chuck/1006405364/index_html May not be the right thing for this problem, but worth a shot.

dialup modem connection
I decided to give up high speed internet, because it's a waste of money and time. So, now I have dial-up. The last time I had dial-up was when I used Corel Linux, and I had no problem setting that up. Now, however, I can't seem to get wvdial, or its frontend, gnome-ppp, to work (aren't things supposed to get easier as time goes by?). I tried kppp, and did get it to connect, but only when run as root. I read kppp's help, and it said a bunch of stuff about "noauth" and "dip"; so, my regular user is a member of both dialout and dip, and I uncommented "noauth" in the kppp-options file (as instructed). I still can only connect via the root user. Trying to run kppp as regular user: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kppp bash: /usr/bin/kppp: Permission denied -rwsr-xr--, file owner root, file group dip. Trying to run wvdial: --> Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best. --> Unable to run /usr/sbin/pppd. --> Check permissions, or specify a "PPPD Path" option in wvdial.conf. It correctly pointed to /usr/sbin/pppd, which had the same permissions as the kppp file above, that being: -rwsr-xr--, file owner root, file group dip. Should file group dip be given write access? All suggestions appreciated, Mark PS, switching back to dialup, just to hear that good ol' modem sound again, is worth it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
