Thanks Greg!
I have emailed Primus to ask them about
this, and have also forwarded the
request from Mandrake posted on the
newsgroup for ISP information to them.
The couldn't give a stuff basically, but
I am working on it as they are the best
priced ISP in my part of the world.
I do occasionally recieve 'connection
reset by peer' errors in Windows, and I
have told them this, time and time
again, although Windows manages to reset
the connection somehow whereas Linux PPP
stalls and requires disconnection and
reconnection.
I have asked Primus for the version /
patch number of the NT dial up server,
and they tell me it is RAS. I am not
sure if they know what they are talking
about.
Once we have the version number, we can
do some research to configure Linux for
that particular server.
Thanks for your support!
Regards,
Ian
