I sent Jerry a personal e-mail earlier this morning asking about it.
I just called worldspy's tech support and asked about Linux and he
said "you could try it, but they don't support it". I then asked if
they used pap authentication and the support guy had no idea what I
was talking about. I had tried it briefly this morning before going
to work and got the connect, but immediately pppd died (I'm assuming
because of the username/password authentication). I don't know
whether that's because they don't use PAP or whether my account that I
had just signed up for 30 minutes earlier hadn't been activated yet.
Like Johnio, if anyone has any success with using worldspy.net with
Linux, please let us know what you did.
Thanks,
Dave
