Thanks for your reply, Carl. I've tried both man pppd and man pppoe
and believe that something like
pppd 'pppoe --pppoe-stuff' --pppd-stuff
is what I'll need to get this working, but the details of --pppoe-stuff
and --pppd-stuff are making me a little crazy. When I tried to run SAS
from the desktop, after entering the root password, I get an error box
"Check host and make sure /etc/init.d/mid is running". When I try
/etc/init.d/mid start
it seems OK, but ps doesn't show mid running, and SAS continues to fail.
When I run /usr/sbin/mid from the command line, it returns immediatly
with no error message; echo $? says 0. man mid shows the undocumented
page. I've rebooted several times without appreciable progress. I
believe that I need to debug this stepwise; getting some sort of response
from pppoe before going on the integrate that with the pppd command,
which is why I started with talking about my pppoe results so far.
I've upgraded to unstable and 2.2.28pre21 in hopes that that would
help, but I guess that it broke SAS somehow. Any suggestion on how to
proceed (including re-install hail and start over) would be appreciated.
TIA
