Sorry I forgot to say that I had run wvdial in both user and root and
the screens were the same.
Regarding pap-secrets
All the lines bar that one are commented out, does that make a
difference, or should I remove everything except the log in details??
many thanks for that info regarding minicom, I just searched thru google
and happened to select that site that I got those from, will delete
those and download the correct ones you have suggested thanks.
Regarding the lcp-interval and failure settings I did mention yesterday
that they were
set at 60 and 6 respectively from an earlier suggestion to up them from
their original settings of 30 and 4 ..... I hope that I am referring to
the same thing??
This mng after changing the setting back to +pap which as I read was the
correct statement(I hope) I ran in both kppp and also wvdial(root) and
both timed out error 16 wvdial tried 12 times to send a line of numbers
(I showed those in a previous email) and then dropped out and retried.
when in wvdial... how do I stop it from retrying??? is there a command
that I can type in?? otherwise it seems to keep on going so I have
generally rebooted the computer to stop it.
Regards Alan
