I use bell at home and I've recently been able to connect to msn(sorry couldn't resist the free pc) with my ISDN line. I normally use linuxconf or netcfg to configure the ppp adapter and add bell's DNS entries. I've had problems with being able to connect/login and not have access to anything. I could ping my adapter but nothing beyond that. I would leave my machine come back later and everything would be fine, as a matter of fact it happened today, but this time I was using kppp to dial in. -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Brown To: plug@lists.nothinbut.net Sent: 8/28/99 10:58 AM Subject: Re: [Plug] Linux compatible ISPs I use Bell at work, and I have trouble connecting up to the with their ISDN sometimes. I think their network is messed up. But as for linux, I dont think you should have too much trouble. I know Bell feeds you both the IP address and the DNS numbers, I am not sure if that is causing too much of a problem. What method is this person using to connect? Are they making chat scrips or are they using kppp or gnomes dialer? Do you know where they are having the problem, at what point they are running into the roadblock? If you can give me a little more info I may be able to help. -- -Rune Einsteins theory of Relativity mean that no matter what direction you go in life you have a relative that has a theory...
