Thanks Dave, I enabled kdebug <7> - logging incoming and outgoing packets - and am now at least able to get some idea of the problem.
After a number of attempts to log on I have got a consistent message that "login script failed" due to NO CARRIER expect (ogin :) expect (login :) expect (username :) expect (sername :) NO CARRIER I've not had any connection problem in Debian installs over two or so years, and my XP drive has no problem connecting to Primus - and why the 'NO CARRIER' messages ? At this point I've run out of ideas - any fresh input would be appreciated. Adam P.O.
