Hi Greg,
I never did see my first post so I,m sending again.
I don't think I have an IRQ conflict -----NIC is IRQ 10 , External Modem on
serial port 2 s/b IRQ 3,I have set for ttyS1. I played in the BIOS with pnp
but that didn't help. I went to ppp/plip/slip and found ppp0---- I don't see
anything to change?I did try seting some options but didn't help. I
installed pmfirewall again and choose "not' to start
at boot" ,---but to start on" successful ppp connection". Didn't help! It
doesn't seem to find ppp0.
I found something at /usr/doc/ppp-2.3.11/scripts that mentions about adding
"usepeerdns" to /etc/ppp/ip-up.local---- I can't fine this file. It said
something about having to create an executible script. Is this anything
that might help?
If i don't keep using Kppp what would you advise trying?
Thanks for help
Bob
