I have installed debian 1.3.1 r6 on my computer and (following the directions from att worldnet for using linux with their ISP service) attempted to get my modem to dial out. I compiled support into the kernel for both slp and ppp. During the boot phase the messages which scroll past the screen (and get dumped to the /var/log files) contain several lines for PPP so I assume that the correct kernel got installed in LILO. I created a shell script in /usr/sbin called ppp-on which contains a line
pppd connect 'chat .... options supplied ... but running this script gives the error mesages kernel does not support PPP. Any ideas? I am now writing this in the office, my debian machine is at home. I will get my kernel options file, the exact ppp-on script, kernel log messages, etc if more info is needed here. BTW AT&T worldnet seems to encourage the use of Linux to access the web, and they mention using with a local network to share an account with several home computers (And tell you how to do it too!) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
