I made to try out everyone's suggestions for getting my PPP dialup to
work.....
The first thing that happened is t hat when I turned on my
computer, for
some reason /dev/mouse was linked to my /dev/ttyS0, and so things refused
to use ttyS0. So I deleted /dev/mouse, but then nothing would detect the
modem on /dev/ttyS0. I then booted off my bootdisk that I made during
debian setup, and it was recognized okay...... Any ideas on how to fix this?
Now, (having booted off the disk), I check my /etc/ppp/ and am
disappointed to find that I have no scripts already there that I can
customize. :(. So, I decited to try a program that was recommended to me by
another user, wvdial (http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial). It starts to work
beautifully, and logs in, detects a ppp, starts my ppp, and then
disconnects, and says the ppp deamon exited with error code 2. I check the
ppp-errors file, and it says that the /etc/ppp/ppp-connect file doesn't
exist.
Now, I take out the line 'connect /etc/ppp/ppp-connect' from the options
file in /etc/ppp/ and dial again. This time it exits with error code 1. The
ppp log file also says:

PS: Assuming I ever get this to work, does anyone know if Apache or any
other web servers will work even though I've got a dynamic IP?
