I have a dedicated 28.8 out to the Inet and two dialup modems for users. I haven't experianced any of the core dumps that others seem to have experianced and I've been up a few weeks now (under 2.1). My problem is that I can't get the PPP working with my modems. I've tried a direct connect through a null modem and that worked fine but as soon as I try it through dialup, nothing. I can connect, log in, do the normal user/shell stuff, but as soon as I start the ppp stuff Trumpet doesn't set up the link right. It seems to have the connection established but I can't even ping the other end of the line. It's like it can't get the configuration info. Geoff.
