Okay, I have two laptops, neither with a modem, both with ppp configured to be used with an external modem on the serial port (I mean the actual physical serial port) One of them connects fine. The other opens a connection, and plog shows it ping-ponging EchoReq's and EchoRep's every 30 seconds as usual, however all of my internet programs fail to connect to anything. It appears they do not recognize that the ppp connection is open and that they can use it and return the usual gamut of errors to be expected when one is not connected at all.
The only difference between the two machines in configuration is that the one which doesn't work for some reason has the slip kernel module. I don't really know why; I tried removing it from /etc/modules but the problem is still there. Could this module have anything to do with it (seeing as it is clearly not needed here?) ===== Fish of Borg Visit me on the web! http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/Frontier/4874/stccg.html ///Archaeologists near mount Sinai have discovered what appears to be a missing page from the Bible.
