Type "dmesg" at the command line. Cheers, Ed

I've had some big problems today which I'll use other emails for but now when I reboot, suddenly ifconfig reports a ppp0 and ppp1. Before I only had a ppp0. I got some sort of ppp error with instructions but I can't read it fast enough. I can't see it switching to tty1 and dmesg doesn't reveal the information. Any help? -- swk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
