Is there a ISP I can dial to test if my modem connects correctly, so I can see if the problem lies in my BigZoo ISP?
Best, Tony P.S. Floyd! It's interesting we have such a similar problem. :) Let me know if you find a solution, and vice versa. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Floyd Millet Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2003 10:05 PM To: Newbie Help Subject: Re: [newbies] How to troubleshoot a modem/KPPP Hello everyone, If anyone can help with this it would be great. I have a very similar situation. I have a PCTel Inc HSP MicroModem 5, I got the drivers and got it going. It dialed, seemed to initialize and get everything going, but never gave me a connection. I have an external modem that I borrowed working well, so somethings are going right. Same as Tony I have Bigzoo.net as my provider. Any suggestions?
