Yes I've done some homework and found the link which is supposed to be the definitive Mandrake8.2 guide.
Before, I was following the FAQ and doing things by hand, but somehow the Mandrake tool draknet in the MCC should be able to set up everything for you. Its a very buggy procedure, and after it is finished you still have to modify /etc/ppp/peers/adsl for the correct vpi and vci, because draknet will leave them blank. And perhaps also your CHAP secrets file. And you will also need to have mgmt.o in /usr/share/speedtouch if you don't have 'Commercial CD1'. Make the directory if it doesn't exist and copy it there from the Alcatel files. This is the original post that got me optimistic: http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/viewtopic.php?t=2663 I followed these directions to the letter and they didn't work. Although they might work for you? But just today I found a few other alternative techniques that seem more promising. I can't try them anymore as I have given up on Mandrake 8.2. I am in purgatory (Microsoft Windows) before switching to SUSE. But please let me know if any of them work, especially #2, as it can save me a lot of trouble... 1) Changing speedtouch.sh http://mandrakeforum.com/comments.php?op=showreply&tid=29052&sid=2017&pid=28975&mode=&order=&thold=&lang=en#29052 2) Disabling certain Mandrake services http://mandrakeforum.com/article.php?sid=2165&lang=en 3) Press cancel instead of OK in the MCC after setting up everything http://mandrakeforum.com/comments.php?op=showreply&tid=30508&sid=2017&pid=28789&mode=&order=&thold=&lang=en#30508 4) Download Gnome tools for connecting http://mandrakeforum.com/comments.php?op=showreply&tid=32077&sid=2017&pid=28813&mode=&order=&thold=&lang=en#32077 Happy hacking Aiman.
