I have been having trouble setting up my ppp connection to my ISP. I have written in a couple of times and recieved info but nothing so far has seemed to work :( When I try 'dial provider' from the ppp prompt I get the message WARNING: DialModem: dial failed. Now someone told me to try and talk to the modem using the term command in ppp but everytime I try the command it seems as though my computer freezes. This is what the screen looks like: ppp ON phantom> term Working in interactive mode Entering terminal mode. Type '~?' for help. After this my computer freezes and I can't even use CTRL+C to break it...I have to reset it. I'm not at all familiar with the term command so if I'm doing something wrong or if there are certain commands that I need to know please let me know.. Thank-you for your time Chris.
