Huh? I never, ever had any problem connecting to Freeserve using Debian Linux. For starters, running pppconfig will create a perfect connection using PAP. You can easily use a script-based login too. Freeserve aheres to the normal 'ogin:' 'sword:' format like most other IPs as well as allowing perefctly standard PAP. I don't understand why you say they don't accomodate Linux. -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux (Potato)
