Has anyone been able to get dial up to work using the PPPconfig in DSL? I tried several weeks ago, listed all of the problems, and was advised to try pon. That was not the problem, the modem is being accessed and is dialing, and somehow the script is not sending the acknowledgment because I get a voice message error from the telco. I was able to set-up dial up in Windows networking, DOS, and in Linux using GK Dial. Thought I would try WVDial for DSL, so I downloaded from myDSL, added it through emelFM and found it on the myDSL menu. But could not select the application, so I tried several applications from the menu, instead of the desktop, and each one worked, Beaver, Ted, XMMS, mastermind, and pppconfig. So now I have a GUI front end I cannot access and pppconfig that will not work. Back to pppconfig, try CHAP, CHAT, PAP, ten digit phone number, eleven digit phone number, 7 digiit phone number each in combination with the protocols. Still not working, verify the login and password, they are correct. After trying all of these I now have 5 broken CD's, dozen broken pencils and barely usable keyboard. Have to take frustration out on something. I am not easily discourage, but am ready to consider SuSe 7.3 was easy compared to this. I already have to select my monitor resolution at each boot up, otherwise I get wavy lines of unreadable text. I like the compactness of this distribution but at some point the time spent trying to simply get a basic dial-up to work will not be worth it.
