Can anyone help a total beginner..please! I have installed 7.0 on my system, dual boot with Win98..no probs there, but had to attach external modem (Pace Linnet 34Plus) as my "winmodem" is no good for Linux - according to web based info. However, I cant get Linux to see the specific type of modem - it just sees an unknown device and uses it! When attempting to use kinternet to dial my ISP, it dials ok, connects briefly and then disconnects, telling me that "The ppp daemon has died: pppd options error (exit code = 2)" and the man pages tell me this is due to multiple conflicting options...what do I do!!! Any help gratefully recieved! Cris Treacher ICT Co-ordinator Kingswood High School
