I do not know if this is a help but when I tried to connect with kppp it did not work correctly. The way I connected is through qinternet. What I did is configure the modem under yast. Once you have completed that, you can then invoke qinternet. By the way you will have to configure the mail system a bit. It turns out if you do not do this and the firewall is not enable, it will not allow you through the firewall. steve wrote:
I'm using wanadoo.es (unfortunately)
Why? ;-)
Why wanadoo or why unfortunately? We install dual boot systems for old ladies down here who are fed up with norton, panda. . . and having their XP box go off road three times a year. Wanadoo offer linux installation help on their site. But they don't support linux. So we get called back to fix it when they don't know what to put where.
Does anyone have a modem working reliably with any ISP in Spain?
Mmmm.... define reliably :-p
A 9.2 YOU update from a new installation today will not complete with dialup. Downloading the new openoffice beta even with ftp takes several attempts and then the MD5's don't check. Get a 'phone call and the line drops. . . Tarifa plana 24 horas simply is not that. But OK, it's only 18 Euros mes.
No provider is fully reliable here.
Dragonet in Alfaz del Pi with its fc2 server is the most reliable I've found so far. Maybe I should join the Spanish list and ask there. Is it as active as this one?
Cheers, Steve.
