I gather that first line doesn't do anything of consequence ??
Right.
--
figures .. just like lynx it doesn't do anything of consequence
either :(
whether with OR without that line in lynx.cfg
do you think possibly something else could be broken ??
I've tried looking at nslookup
Ah that might be it . I used wvdial and don't recall it
asking about
DNS stuff although ifconfig worked like it should and I could ping some
known
IP addresses. I am impressed with the user friendliness of wvdial though,
its a
really pleasant change after all the weird stuff
I think you get this when DNS lookup failed. Check to make sure you
have DNS addresses set up in /etc/resolv.conf. (man resolv.conf)
I think resolv.conf is set right .. first line is just server homepage,
second third ones are primary secondary DNS numbers lynx still
not doing
Look at man ping (use ping -c [n] [www.someplace.org] - where is the
number of pings). Ctrl-C should also stop it.
In lynx.cfg
STARTFILE:file//localhost/var/www/index.html
will open the file /var/www/index.html
The localhost should preceed the rest of the regular file path.

server homepage? That makes no sense. Please post a copy of the file.

John, thanks, very useful.
I hope this all finds it's way into a FAQ; (before it changes!).

Right.
init calls /etc/init.d/ppp which calls pppd with appropriate options.
Trying to get ppp setup;
what is the relation of the /etc/ppp.options_out and /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX ?
I presume that one is to either just edit options_out, which is used
directly by /etc/init.d/ppp for the startup pppd options,
or,
change init.d/ppp to instead use /etc/ppp/options.ttyXX (XX

/etc/ppp.options_out is used by the 'pon' command and by init.d.
/etc/ppp/options.ttyXX is read by pppd when it is called with ttyXX as an
argument. It usually is not needed.

The sequence would be (??) calls ppp-on, it calls pppd,...
