Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Newbie with newly installed Debian "Lenny".

 

Only Puppy Linux has a few flavors for most of the dial-up modems, that I am aware of.

I wonder if someone can help me out. I am a newbie to Linux although I

did have Mandrake running a few years ago. My Debian installation went

fine until I tried to connect to my provider. GnomePPP loaded fine and

dial-up dialed. After dialing it just hung there. I tried changing

permissions (chmod) but that did not work.

I am sure that there is another step that I am missing; a way to

authenticate the connection possibly PAP or something like it. Any

directions you might have would be appreciated. I don't know how to get

PAP on top of PPP.

The Debian pages are mixed up, so I thought I would use the Linux group.

The Yahoo Debian group is worthless, nothing but really dumb spam. I

would like to use Debian because it seems to be very stable once it is

running. I also covet those 25,000 packages.

Thank you. Harry
