Re: Dialout within X
I think you need to be a little more specific. See further comments below:

What version did you install?
How did you install it (ie. As a debian package, what components, etc ..)?

Errr yes, but this is such a general statement. Your problems will relate to
your setup and how you are trying to initiate a connection. Are you seeing any
nasty messages when dialling out? Have you check the ppp log?
When you say X won't let you dial out, does this mean you can dial out when X
is not running?
Has your modem ever worked with your current installation?
Does ppp work when x windows is not running?
Why do you have to reboot the system, does everything lockup?
I am sure if you can supply more detail some of the people who read this list
can help out. It may be a good idea to tackle you problems one by one. Like,
why not concentrate on getting the ppp sorted first before worrying about
netscape.
