Once I did that, the PPP connection worked properly and the install went fine. (Sorry the details are sketchy - it's been a while since I did it) Probably not the best solution, but it did the trick. =========== Quotefile(c) 1997 Martin Poulin ============================= TV is chewing gum for the eyes. - Frank Lloyd Wright On Sun, 28 Jun 1998 Kronos80@aol.com wrote: > Hello, > I have a question.
