and go for Linux,you need 3 files for hooking PPP to a Linux box:
rule no.1-:the PPP HOWTO say that you dont normaly have to touch (read:
edit) the file /etc/ppp/options ,but the one you wrote (King) should not
cause problem
Someone else has advised you that a 1.3.1r6 CDs are available at
farily cheap prices. Another approach is to reinstall from the 1.3
CD, then use dselect/dpkg-ftp to upgrade. That would greatly reduce
the amount of data to be downloaded by ftp, which would be beneficial
if on-line time is a
one thing i would suggest in your case is that if you had a big enough
hard drive,you can allway copy the content of you CD to the hard disk (in
DOS) and start from that,i did it,but in my case,it was more in the
interest of speed rater than incompatibility,my HD is a 1.7 gig unit.
