PPP to ISP -Freeserve UK == cack

1999-11-11 Thread Stephen . Murphy

PPP to ISP

1999-11-01 Thread Stephen . Murphy
Please bear with me guys - I am having a bit of trouble all in all, getting my Debian system to work nicely ( I love it though). I have set up a PPP connection to my ISP (Freeserve in UK). Connection gets established OK - ifconfig shows it's up and routing tables have sensible entries. However I
