It's a 28,8 standard modem. 1/using ppp, when I type on the prompt: ppp on myserver>dial ISP I just hear the dial tone but it never actually dials. 2/ So I go with mannual dialing: I go as far as I can logon in my ISP and I ha to push a key to have some thing like: ppp on myserver>Using Packet Mode and few seconds later, PPP on myserver> At that point I am supposed to be connect. Right! I can telnet and ping my ISP's server but that's it. I cannot ftp nor ping nor telnet any other host. Therefore when I try to install Netscape with .../netscape4-communicator/make install' it fails to ftp 'ftp.netscape.com/...' 3/ I cannot find the ~/instfiles/ directory on my CD distribution that comes with Greg Lehey's book from Walnut Creek.
