It seems to need both. It needs the username/password, ( I know that for sure... ) but
on the ISP's web site they advertize "PPP and PAP" ... BTW, the ISP was
NO help at all... I e-mailed them to ask about the athuntication, and they said
"sorry, we can't help you if your not running windows. Our staff can only offer
assistance to Windoze Users" ... Well, I'll try playing with it some more ... it's
just frustrating... and thanx to everyone that's helping ....
