G'Day ! Well it looks like I'm lucky ... I plugged my PC card modem into the laptop heard a beep and low and behold it is recognized as a modem and is working .... almost
My PPP connection is real flacky. Sometimes it disconnects, every so often (every 5 minutes or so). Last night it did not disconnect, but I could not see the outside world. When I typed route, the route program would display the headings, but would not display the info from proc and hang. (I check /proc/net/route and did see what looked like the appropiate info). I had set up the laptop for an ethernet connection to a private LAN, so my thoughts are it is trying to use set-up info in /etc/init.d/ ... BTW both my NIC card and modem are PC cards. Any thoughts or comments ? cheers, Jim Parker Sailboat racing is not a matter of life and death .... It is far more important than that !!!
