Hi Nick
yes had looked up error 10 thanks... and yes with minicom it asks for
the entry of both user ID and password ans when entered it refuses
authentication, I repeated this 3 times with same results and of course
on the second and third time I made darned sure that it was being
entered correctly(and in lower case).
I more or less gathered it wasnt talking at all under kppp and dont
know where to start looking,
do the first commands come from the options file or is it still running
from the modem commands file??
As to why it will not accept the user name and password...its got me
puzzled because wqhen Andrew was here and tried with his modem it logged
on ok (I think on the second try)........ that was using my name and
password.
