Well, getting the interrupts set right got minicom working fine. I am still unable to get a ppp connection to work. (Going back and forth between Linux and Windblows is such a pain!) I am using the options and ppp-connect scripts with minor modifications to the options script (I added -detach because it seemed appropriate but didn't get me any farther) and to the best I can tell, chat dials out and the modems negotiate for baud rate but nothing else happens. Eventually the modem disconnects, but during the whole process I get no messages or indications that things are going either well or badly. I know if I wait till monday I can get help from my internet provider, but that's three days away, so here are my questions.
a: Is there any way to get pppd to talk to me while it works? b: Why is 255.255.255.255 not a valid net mask but 255.255.255.0 is? c: What do I have to do to give a user on my system access to the PPP connection once I make it? YHS, Dale
