Mel,
Thank's for your reply, Today I got a bit sus of my new PNP 56K modem,
recomplied mgetty 1.9 modified the int string in policy.h and tried that
out. Same problem!!! no carrier which was what I was getting with this
modem. Replaced above with old 141vqh modem card on com2, this logged in
and started ppp but proxyarp refused to give an Ip# to the client. Thourgh
out pppd 2.2.of-5 and installed pppd-2.3.3 and it works. Well I will have
to print the pnp modem's manual out and see if there is any thing there
that will help. If anybody out there knows this modem it's a netcomm
roadster 56 flex model AM3474 made in Australia, any input would be
appeciated.
TIA,
George Williamson.
