yep. upgrading removed (PCI-related) warnings during boot and now XF86Config, e.g., recognizes the diamond s3-virge which it wasn't doing before > What exacly does 'can't initialize the modem' mean? the ppp-on-dialer script was unable to pass the 'AT' command to the modem. there was txd/rxd activity but the modem was not receiving the command. > I had a file > permission problem with the /etc/chatscript/provider script that caused > pppd to freeze when it tried to use the chatscript.

Use plog to see this. the string being passed by the script (which i borrowed from the PPP-HOWTO included a /r -- '/rAT' -- the modem in the 486 had no problem with the return. but, both the gdc and the us robotics (on the pentium) did. i removed the 'r' and... voila. funny. had ruled out the script because it "worked" and had been "tested." duh. thanks, ed--c -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
