Didn't ever doubt it. They have hundreds of windows users. The fact was with a bog standard Redhat 8.0 distro, using DSE modem, from two different machines and two different phone lines it wouldn't work either to homepages.paradise.net.nz or to a bunch of other locations over many attempts. Yet, the exact same machines and modems and settings worked on ihug, xtra and a modem here at work. ie. There is something special about Paradise. Maybe something special about Redhat 8.0 too. Unfortunately I haven't had time to see whether my Paradise a/c is still operational and try it. Maybe they have finally fixed it. Maybe it is something special about Redhat 8.0. I would _love_ to know what distro/version kernel version/pppd version the guys uploading those files are using. I would love it if they put their pppd into debug mode and sent me the log (sanitized of any secrets). (Probably also have to tell /etc/syslog.conf to log debug messages as well.)
