pppconfig

[hammack]

I still have a problem establishing a connection to my ISP.  I would like to establish email and connect my Netscape/StarOffice to the net.  I have run pppconfig and ran "pon ridgenet" but nothing happens.  I noted that I didn't have a "/dev/modem" so I created the following:  ln -sf  /dev/ttyS2 /dev/modem.  Was I correct in creating the link?  My desire is to call up Netscape and or StarOffice and send/receive email and browse the web.  Is this the route to firing up my Netscape/StarOffice and send and receive email and use either for a web browser??  thanks [EMAIL PROTECTED]   The following is the pppconfig:       Number    replace_with_number3 Telephone number             User      replace_with_your_lo ISP user name                                   Password  password             ISP password                                    Speed     115200               Port speed                                      Com       /dev/ttyS2           Modem com port                                  Method    PAP                  Authentication method              The ISP claims PAP is the proper method, and I have tried the other schemes.  the following are scripts: /etc/chatscripts/providerridgenet # This chatfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.5. # Please do not delete any of the comments.  Pppconfig needs them. # # ispauth PAP # abortstring ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT VOICE ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE' ABORT 'NO ANSWER' # modeminit '' ATZ # ispnumber OK-AT-OK ATDTreplace_with_number3750771 # ispconnect CONNECT \d\c # prelogin # ispname # isppassword # postlogin # end of pppconfig stuff /etc/ppp/peers/providerridgenet   # This optionfile was generated by pppconfig 2.0.5. # # hide-password noauth connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/providerridgenet" debug /dev/ttyS2 115200 defaultroute noipdefault user replace_with_your_login_namehammack   ipparam providerridgenet remotename providerridgenet
