I've been trying to get pppconfig set up to run with my ISP mapie.csx.cam.ac.uk - it's an internal univerisity system. I have no problems getting in from windows with just a username, password and phonenumber. I'm trying to use dynamic DNS - although I know the server's IP address I don't have a file /etc/resolv.conf, I know it supports PAP in conjunction with PPP and I'm leaving the port speed at it's recommended level - it probes ttyS0 and ttyS1 withut finding the modem, but I know from the windows partition that it's on ttyS2 (ie. com3) and I'm not even worrying about the advanced options cos all I'm trying to do at the moment is update my system as root. When I try and run pon (as root) I'm getting the messages
pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0 Connect script failed Exit I've now got this damn laptop sitting in front of me at work, and would love to get this sorted out pronto. Thanks for any help. -- srt
