Steven mentioned that the website for EZNET mentions different compile options. I don't recall the details but the older BL17 used the first and BL20 uses the second (a '2' and a '3' come to mind for some reason?). They are not really the same at all. >It seems to work for everyone else. I don't think you or others that like this phrase mean it as the flippant remark it really is but truth be told it _is_ a flippant remark. At work in a meeting to resolve issues this remark could cost you your job. Truth is there may be a 'silent minority' out there who have no previous experience and just assume they are too stupid to get BL online and give up. They don't join an elist or post at FIDO or usenet. They just go back to what works for them and maybe never try Linux again thinking it won't work for them. To honestly say "It seems to work for _everyone_ else" you would need to lock 100 people in a computer lab with 100 copies of BL and then come back in an hour or so and ask them to show you a connect. I'd wager with 100 different ISPs using PPP logins you'd find a significant number that would not connect but I know you would bet the opposite based on your personal successes. There may just be a _reason_ why the standard PPP setup uses the 'chatscr' and not a precompiled one as EZNET does? Hmmm ...???
