I'm using netcfg to connect to my ISP. I'm having some weird problems,
however.
I can use nslookup to get DNS information fine. But if I telnet, I get to
[fuzzylogic:~/.gnome/panel.d/default]$ telnet my.isp.com
Trying 6.6.6.6...
Connected to my.isp.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
and then it hangs. No "SunOS 5.6" or login prompt or anything. The modem
lights just sit there, not blinking (aside from the flurry of blinking
when I first connect.)
It's not my ISP, because my housemate with the same setup can connect just
fine. Any ideas?
(oh, this is Mandrake 6.1 btw.)

"For a long time it puzzled me how something so expensive, so leading
edge, could be so useless, and then it occurred to me that a computer is a
stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while
computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly
stupid things. They are, in short, a perfect match."
