Yep, I lied. I thought I had posted my last message of the day, but there has been an outpouring of requests for the loggin surrounding my PPP problem. I concede that I should have included it in my original posting.
There have also been requests for my config files. As I've explained to several individual respondents, the "box in question" is at home and I'm at work, so I don't have access to those files. One respondent did mention that I might check the permissions on those files (a good idea, and one that I'm ashamed to have not come up with on my own), so I'll do that when I get home (or maybe have my wife look for me -- no, probably not. :) Anyway, here are the highlights of the logging generated by a vanilla unsuccessful request: chat[5737]SIGHUP chat[5737]Can't restore terminal parameters: I/O error pppd[5747]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 pppd[5747]: Removed stale lock on ttyS2 (pid 5729( chat[5748]: abort on (BUSY) chat[5748]: abort on (NO CARRIER) chat[5748]: abort on (VOICE) chat[5748]: abort on (NO DIALTONE) chat[5748]: send (ATDT4042873038^^M) chat[5748]: expect (ogin) kernel: PPP: ppp line discipline successfully unregistered chat[5748]: ATDT4042873038^^M^^M chat[5748]: alarm chat[5748]: Failed pppd[5747]: Connect script failed By the way, I'm very impressed and pleased by the vast and rapid response. At the same time, it's troubling to see the negative thoughts floating around about the future of Debian. Of course, the two threads contradict each other, don't they? The success of any product is directly proportional to the support of it's users. That's my initial impression, anyway. While I'm not an application developer and cannot help on that side of things, I am a rather experienced web developer. If my services could be used for the further advancement of Debian's mission, I'm sure you'll let me know. Thanks, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
