I was unable to connect with ppp or Diald, so I installed an older (Slink) version of diald and ppp and wvdial. I was able to get online with wvdial but not with ppp or diald, that is, until I did that, and then I could not get online at all. I recompiled the kernel, just in case, but that did not help, so I purged diald, ppp, wvdial and their friends and then installed ppp and still could not get online. I then went back to an older netbase version and rebooted and I am online. > > If you haven't been running "apt-get clean" much you may still have a > previous version of pppd kicking around in /var/cache/apt/archives. No such luck; I clean it out frequently. I keep backups on another machine but had to reinstall that machine a few weeks ago and don't have backups. Something must be wrong with the latest potato version of ppp. -- Andrew
