So I doubt > many people will be hugely affected. No patching of the kernel is needed to use this package. The bug referring to kernel-patch-mppe (#180538) only mentions suggesting or recommending the patch. Additionally, pptp-linux seems to be the only/preferred/recommended? way to use ADSL on Linux in the Netherlands (which is where I live). See also http://www.maniac.nl/adsl.html.

Well, some people already have the ethernet version.

Getting a Linux machine going without PPTP is > doable. It's just a lot easier to not have to reprogram the modem. Anyways, I use a patched version that I complied myself. It's a version that works with debian's pon and poff, and uses pppd's own persist option to restart the connection once it's down. Apparently there are .debs for this now as well. The patched versions (by Rein Klazes) can be found at: http://www.xs4all.nl/~rklazes/data/ Note: this is all in Dutch; LEESMIJ means README, and ISVEROUDERD means ISOLD/OBSOLETE. The .deb is at: http://jp.dhs.org/pptp-linux_1.1.0-1_i386.deb HTH, -- Matijs van Zuijlen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

The method described on http://www.sateh.com/hacks/alcatel.php certainly looks like a hack. It basically describes a way to convert a Home model to a Pro model without paying. Given the price difference 'Home' and 'Pro' seem to imply, this is most probably not what Alcatel intended. Additionally, it says on that page: You have the risk of changing your modem settings and not getting them back in the correct original state. (...) Which also sounds like it's a hack.

Xine works, but can't seem to keep up: It just shows the first frame, then keeps saying: video_out: rejected, X frames to skip with X getting larger and larger. I think it's due to the screen size. Does anyone know what programs in Debian to use to convert this to something more manageable? I used avi2yuv with some mpeg encoder once a long time ago, but it was very hard to use and is not in Debian. -- Matijs van Zuijlen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
