Hi Nick
Well given time I guess some thing has to seep thru even the thickest hunk of wood LOL. Now in minicom I did not get an echo back (it showed the user name as I typed it in)of the user name but it drops down a line and asks for the password to be entered, then after entering that(it echos nothing back at all--the cursor does not move) I think it says Authentication refused (or something similar). Yes initially I looked up the web site but that did not tell me anything so then went to the man page and got the answer for error 10. Yes have made a number of changes to the etc/ppp/options file but not sure if I have touched the
etc/ppp/peers/kppp file.

Thank for the address for the Wine Emulation files... yes hopefully the ole memory will work right for me to do whats necessary with those. Currently I do run three specialist ham programs which will not be in the CD that I got from the States. One of them although it is a PSK program and there are a couple of those on the disk, the one I am using also does all the logging of the contacts I make. I have only enquired on the operation of one of the programs in Linux because I have spoken to the guy a number of times.
It will be interesting to see how things work out with those.
Thanks again for all the help Nick

Alan
