I have looked in the man page for pon, and it tells me that the two files :
/etc/ppp.chatscript; and /etc/ppp.options-out are required for pon to work. Neither of these files exist on my system, and I was wondering if maybe this is the reason why I have been unable to connect to the Internet ??? If that is the case, then how do I generate these files ? .... is there some other PPP configuration routine that I need to run as well as pppconfig, which I have already run ? (Recall that originally I had the following error message when attempting to connect to the net using pon with no parameters : "/usr/sbin/pppd: In file /etc/ppp/peers/provider: unrecognized option '/dev/modem'". I attempted to fix this by adding the line /dev/modem in the provider file) regards, Andrew J Fortune
