Hello Jason,

Sorry we are unable to help and sorry to learn of your problem.
Your help with the mandrake manuals has been invaluable.  Still wading 
through them line by line!

Watching the modem outcome with great interest - to date Themis has been 
unable to get our modem to work properly.
Mandrake says that modem cannot be found, so for once Bill Gates has the edge.

Regards,
Colin Hemley

Some of you helped me sort out my modem problems recently and I am now
connected using Mandrake 9. I have the same problem with my internal
modem as I did using Redhat. Basically I get a very slow connection which
eventually drops to nothing and stalls. Taking some of your advice, I
decided to buy an external modem. It is a &quot;Diamond SupraExpress 56e
PRO -serial port&quot; modem.<br><br>
I have no problem finding the modem using KPPP (&amp; wvdial) and it
dials up, but when I get to the &quot;Logging onto the network&quot; bit
and the log script debug window says &quot;Starting pppd&quot;. Thats as
far as it gets.....</font></blockquote></html>
