Is Earthlink Linux friendly? Can I use Kermit or other terminal program to talk to it? Will it respond to a normal PPP connection?
--David My connection uses PPP and UDP, and TCP/IP I have a 56k ac link voice modem. The authentication is MD5 CHAP, no compression on link, but is enabled in my software. PPP multilink framing is OFF. IP addresses and DNS server are found automatically.(dynamic) Dialup Server type is- windows95/98/NT 4/ 2000. Internet. Modem settings are: enable hardware flow control enable modem error control enable modem compression allow IP header compression allow unsecured password default gateway on remote network-yes I'm working my way through the Debian Install Manual for the 3rd time, and trying to find someone who has installed Linux on a machine with "Integrated" sound, graphic, modem (you have to deactivate the motherboard to replace them..) before I actually do it. Hopefully the above specs and settings will help you out. I'll be happy to clarify any, if I can Bruce in Bellingham
