Hello!
Well, after all that hassle I gave you guys I thought you might like to know
that I finally sussed it and am sending this mail through linux. Part of the
thing was that with my ibm access, your username is actually
something.something.name which it doesn't tell you, and I hadn't noticed since
under windoze ibm has its own hit enter dialer thingy.
That and I rebuilt my kernel, with a few optimisations, added sound
support and in xconfig the PPP protocol support wasn't selected by default, and
considering even before I just figured out the right username my modem was
talking to the ibm server, well I don't think PPP was in my kernel.
Stupid, I know.
Anyways, THANK YOU ALL!!! The household can now do everything under
linux. My mom-in-law loves it by the way, she used StarOffice the other day for
the first time, and now wants it at work. :-)
You don't get this kind of satisfaction from any other Os, Cheers to all
of you and the jazzin` SuSE folk, as we say in Glasgow your pure dead brilliant
by the way :-)
Now I've just got to do that chmod thing on pppd so other users can access it.
Ta ra,
Dom
