Of course that should be apt-get install communicator.

If it is just email and web, I would suggest running Netscape as an initial setup while you configure everything else.. try "apt-get communicator" (I think that is the package name) if your sources.list file is set up. Otherwise you need to configure the applications to do certain things with your ISP to send email etc. There is plenty of online info, try the mailing list archive as a first step, there have been some messages there recently.

It seems that Debian 2.1.8 does not support the Diamond Supra 288i SP modem-- at least not mine. After two weeks of trying to get the OS to detect the damned thing, I gave up and replaced it with a scrounged-up Sportster 28800. Viola! Instant detection: ttyS3, 16550A UART, 115200 bps. My "wvdial" command bought up my ISP okay, (1500 MTU) and the PPP daemon makes a solid connection. That's the good news. The bad news is it just sits there, without so much as a prompt. Obviously, I need to set up for e-mail and for actually getting on the net, but I don't know how. The distribution includes packages like "exim," "elm-me+", and "procmail," that are (I gather) supposed to do e-mail, but their manual pages seem to ignore how to make them interface with PPP, and nothing in all my PPP info tells me how either. Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks. --- Max Albert ___________________________________________________________________ Get the Internet just the way you want it.
