RE: PPP on Potato
I am using the original slink, with some packages
updated.
I have found the problem, and it may deserve a bug
fix. The problem was actually of my doing. Worldnet
uses passwords with 'funny' characters so you have to
enter them 'quoted'. The pppconfig program in slink
instructed you to do this, but the one in potato did
not mention this fact. After some head scratching I
remembered this and then I hand edited the ppp and
chapscripts with 'quoted' password strings. Voila!
Guess my memory access time is measured in tens of
minutes :-|
