Switch to a different screen, and open up a telnet session. I'm assuming that you've already configured /etc/resolv.conf to point to you ISP's nameserver. >Well that's not the > end of it, I have the past 3 or 4 times upon connecting been unable to type > in the login: and password: my keyboard becomes totally impaired the point > where my isp name shows up, some letters won't type in uppercase the enter > key doesn't work, so I'm left wondering what it was that I did wrong. > i should edit out the last line in the ppp.conf.
