Thanks for the help I'm able connect now just by using 'pon' after reading the README.debian in usr/doc/ppp.
But I'm still puzzled by devices for starter when I boot up Linux I get the message: ... /dev/ttyS0 at 0x03f8 (irq=4) is a 16550A /dev/ttyS1 at ?x???? (irq=3) is a 16550A ... I believe 16550A is a type of modem right? But a couple of lines after this messages comes: ... Starting mouse interface server: gpm -m /dev/ttySO -t bare ... I have a PS/2 mouse how come it needs a serial driver? Are PS/2 devices and serial devices the same (My mouse works fine). And if /dev/ttyS0 is a modem why is the mouse using this device? Can someone make any sense of these? Thanks Patrick P.S. Can you recommend a good book on writing bash shell scripts. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
