OK Andrew you are right again, I set up to usae the new modem and was
querying it fine and getting the right responses but
dummy me when i went back to the dialling box I didnt think to change
the modem in that box
(actually I didnt even look at it!!!!!)
now it dials fine and gets an answer BUT first time died error 16 and
last three times
it died error 10..... now I went to the site
http://developer.kde.org/~kppp/index.html
as suggested in the error screen but I cannot see anything in there that
telle me what the error 10 is.
I tried looking in the man page but just thinking now I believe I might
have
typed in man kpppd which said no such page and I think it
should have been man pppd.
I will try and check that after i have rebooted back to Linux
