Hi. I'm back in my Debian now and am using mutt. Feels so good! Now on to the problem. I'm trying to dial-in to our Cisco 3640 RAS from home and I'm not able to do it. Yesterday, I did some tracing of what the Cisco box is sending me and what my Debian box is sending to the Cisco box. What I found out is that my box would send an LCP request but never got any response from the Cisco box. I fiddled around my ppp setup and was able to get a response and also able to login to the Cisco box but I wasn't able to do it again.
I spent the whole day trying to find out why and I think I need opinions from others. Here's part of my /var/log/syslog: Oct 13 13:12:55 localhost chat[617]: send (\d) Oct 13 13:12:56 localhost pppd[616]: Serial connection established.
