You need to upgrade PPP for use with the new kernel, that's all.
Version 2.4.0 from testing/woody if you use Debian

Reply-To: "David Ayliffe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have recently set up Suse Linux 6 on a seperate HD, I am having problems
setting up dial-up connections i have used KPPP to define two dial up
connections I have selected the correct port, speed (115200), and variable
settings.
All seems to go well the modem initialises and then dials like my modem does
in windows. However once I have got the modem icon in the corner I fire up
netscape i cannot get any web pages also I cannot ping anything it says
network unrouteable/untraceable
Any ideas any programs I need to run settings I need to set up first?
Many Thanks
Please either reply to group or directly to email address
Thanks
David

Show that "the beasts in the field" do not practice art and ponder
existence. Show that man "in the cave" was.

Yes you did. I remember J. Presper Eckert, John Mauchley, Maurice V.
Wilkes, Howard Aiken, ... .

Sorry Harlan I was a bit narrow minded, I should have said they should
have been kept away from the commercial world and kept for scientists,
mathematicians and engineers. People who really deserve the power of a
computer.

Hello again Harlan,
Your conjectures are only that. You cannot prove that modern code
responds faster or has more functionality than tighter code. It is a
philosophic point which can be argued till doomsday.

Here's one: VA Linux Systems' version of Red Hat Linux 6.2 (VA
6.2.3):
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/updatedb
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root slocate 7 Jan 22 18:03
/usr/bin/updatedb -> slocate
valinux:jdbeyer[~]$ ls -l /usr/bin/slocate
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root slocate 20880 Dec 18 12:16
/usr/bin/slocate

Yes the concept was probably invented by mathematicians but where
would they be without engineers who made it all happen. Just think
about all the things which have only been made possible by engineers.
Would you like to live without steel, electricity telephones motor
vehicles running water ...etc...etc.

You have a wonderful "sense of humour" Harlan, my first laugh for the
day.
