Thanks to everyone who replied. I'm sure my problem was the /dev/ttys1 instead of /dev/ttyS1. I'll try this tonight.
I'd like to connect my modem to the linux machine and then have my two windows computers access the internet via a local network to the linux box using IP - Masquerading. Currently on windows when ever you click on the browers icon it starts the dial out process (if the connection was not made first). Is there anyway to have this happen with PPP when the browers starts up (on linux OR on the Win-95 machines)? I'd like to leave the linux machine up and running all the time, but not have to start PPP for my wife when she sits down at the windows computer and starts her browser. And (of course) I only want the PPP connection up when needed. Any ideas? (probably need to write some software on the windows side I guess). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
