To the group: I, like many, am new to Linux, having spent most of my time on MS machines and have no programming experience (except for some Apple BASIC 100 years ago in high school). I appreciate the do-it-yourself nature of Linux, but I need some more help connecting to my ISP. Mindspring has some good online docs, but they do not "support Linux." I have not yet found adequate info regarding LCP (packets?) in either the PPP HOW-TO or the PPP FAQ, nor in the pppd man page. Whatever suggestions you could offer would be greatly appreciated. . I am running Caldera OpenLinux 2.2 with a US Robotics 56K ext. fax/modem on /dev/ttyS1. A copy of /etc/ppp/options follows the log file. I appologize if I sent a bloated message. I'm new to this. Thanks much, Evan.
