I've copied the Linux PPP scripts, for reference, to the bottom. When I log in they want to know what service you're using. There are a half dozen or so. I don't know what a typical PPP setup is so I can't comment on whether this is -well, atypical. If I remember correctly I also had to remove the noauth line from the script. My pap-secrets file is something like: Internet.USINET.<my user name> * <my password> >> I also tried using SLIP but the Genesis Wizard cannot make >Erm, there aren't any ISP's left that even support/use SLIP these days! Oh contraire. Mine still does. >A PPP authentication failure is simply to do with either: >1) You entering your login and password incorrectly. >and/or >2) Running the modem too fast on your Amiga, which results in corrupt >data being sent to your ISP, which results in a false login. I am using a 28.8 Modem. I will try a slower speed. I think the port speed is 38400. Is that two much for the Amiga? I have an A4000T with an '060 PowerUp board and 64MB RAM. ****Linux scripts follow**** /etc/ppp/options # Please replace the [your port speed] tag with the appropriate # throughput speed desired for the connection.
