Hi Caity,
I tried the different types, and no success with any of them. I was able
to monitor the process via the terminal type login, and got some
interesting feedback there. After entering my name and password, I was
given my IP addresses and the ISP starting sending PPP info back to me. I
hit the continue button, and immediately get the "pppd daemon has died
un-expectantly" message. The connection is then dropped,and I have
nothing. ifconfig is not showing any ppp interface, and I am wondering if
that has something to do with the problem, or is as I assume just a symptom
of the problem. Any other ideas?
Thanks!
Pete
