you still have the kppp daemon running as a process. press control+esc to get the list of running processes, and kill kppp and other daemons that are busy accessing the modem for nothing. then, start fresh with kppp and you'll be able to log in. :-) LL ps: i assume you sent this message from win doze, or perhaps a colleague's gnulinux box. but suppose in a happy future (severe future at last with zero piracy?) you have no win doze on your pc, you can just pop in a cd of knoppix and start. i find it a good idea to have multiple boots of other linux distros on your hard disk. _______________________________________________ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
