Hi,
This is an update to the situation.
Last week I was using Arachne ver 1.5 since then I have updated to ver
1.6.
Michael I have used your Netdial/Arachne1.6 combo.(aka The Big Hammer).
It works fine on the machines that work. No good on the Compaq 590! The
dial-up and connect to my ISP works fine. I get the PPP session start
from the ISP. I get to the PAKTDRVR routine(i.e. ... Going to Arachne
1.6) and nothing happens. The path.cfg shows no results for my-ip,
gateway, or netmask (the nameservers echo works).
I switched to the diagnostic version of epppd (epppdd). I get no errors
from either version. If I redirect the output to a file the file is
written, but nothing is in it.
I tried loading epppd in low memory (I'm only using 23k on the 590
installation). No good.
I think this is the same problem as when using the Arachne dial-up.
Looks like epppd will just not work on this machine!
