Minhaz:
1. Something went wrong with my Mandrake 8.0 installation, and I'm still
trying to sort it out. As a result, I'm having to access e-mail from the
Windows side of the house which means that my Linux stuff isn't currently
available. (Besides, do you really want a configuration file from a bad
installation?)
2. Please try the M1L3 thing. For some reason, the kppd dialer sets the
maximum volume to M1L4, and that is wrong -- at least for some modems. When
I first encountered this problem a year or more ago, it took me a while to
figure out why all of those dead pppd daemons were accumulating on the
floor. Once I made the correction, my world became a much better place.
While I'm not positive this will resolve your problem, it certainly worked
for me.
3. Since it has been a while since I went through the kppp initialization
process, I may not have this quite right, but I believe that there is an
option to have a logon window opened during the dialup process. I strongly
recommend doing so, as it can be an invaluable aid in sorting out these
kinds of problems.
Regards,
Carroll
