I can sympathize with the modem problems you have been having. But I
didn't have them with an external modem and Redhat 7.3. I have had the
same problem you describe with Mandrake and an EXTERNAL modem though.
I must be configuring the PPP dialer incorrectly. I can get the modem
to dial in to my isp, then i get a receive error and it disconnects. I
am thinking it is that I have nothing in the " run program after
connect" script box under the PPP tab ; not sure what to put in here.
Anyway, this is a machine i am setting up for someone else; so if i
can't set it up for them; it will have to become Redhat. Since I know
how to set that up.
What was your solution on the problem of disconnect after first
connecting to your isp? Maybe i can try the same.
Betty - liking redhat better than mandrake at this time.
