great,,
That doesn't help me much though,, I think the problem is with the serial
ports or the modem,, it doesn't initalise it properly on boot...
I know the modem is suitable, its a standard v90 56k external serial modem,
and it worked great on RH6.2
so that isn't the problem,, ( I know the modem hasn't died either as I can
use kppp or gnoPPP to dial in..)
Therefore it has to be the way that the serial lines or modem are
initialised...
how can I change the order that things are run in the startup??
ie I'd like all internet servers(ie sendmail and apache.) IVP4 masq, the
firewall and everything else started After PPP has been enabled..... is
that possible and if so,, how?
many thanks...
