Hi ,
First I want apologize to Benjamin for sending my earlier
message only to him. To quick to press the send button.
I'm still having modem problems. First I found that my ISP
couldn't talk to the modem I bought for the new system. It was a V.92.
So I put the one I have in this PC in the new PC. Now it dials out,
but there seems to be problems with the negotiations. Wvdial
start pppd with a warning.
Here are the results of ifconfig
