I had Redhat installed on the 15th & I would like to thank all concerned especially the two installers.
The reason I have not posted a message earlier, is I have only arrived home after being out of town since the day after the InstallFest.
Everything went well on the day and we made a connection to my ISP and received several messages ( which I now cannot find) . I am unable to make the connection to my ISP .
The installer was not too happy with how the connection was made, after removing the prefix from the number to be called, told me what to do when I got set up at home. which is go to System Settings / Network / Activate, when I do this a message comes up - activating network device ppp1, please wait - then nothing happens and I can only exit by rebooting ?
Looking for Help, Herb Petrie Loburn.
If I can interest you in a little command line activity, can you open a terminal and post the result
of the following command. ls -l /dev/* | grep modem
Here is an example from my machine
[EMAIL PROTECTED] col]$ ls -l /dev/* | grep modem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Mar 26 19:09 /dev/modem -> /dev/ham
Col.
What number would you normally use dial your isp from Loburn?
Col.
I do not hear it trying to dial.
The number I use is 086763822 which I get connected with using 98 & Eudora.
.
I am not yet confident enough to experiment, so will accept the offer of bringing my machine to the meeting on monday night.
Thanks, Herb.
