I have a 505 FX with Xircom (XEM56 10/100), running slink, on linux-2.2.12, with ppp-2.3.5-2, wvdial-1.20, xisp-2.5p4-1 All of the scripts "pon", "wvdial, and "xisp" work! It wasn't obvious, though, for various reasons. * I had to explicitly limit the speed to 57600 Baud ... * wvdial needs PPPD=True * another one (about some line not being 8-bitf clean) had to do with the moment when pppd was invoked. At least, there was no need for potato, here. ;-) == Uwe ==
