hi..  i have been trying for awhile now, to get ppp to work w/ my
mindspring account...


i had been reading the PPP howto's... trying to get it up n going..  i
recompiled the kernel last nite, 2.0.30 w/ ppp (2.0f) support.... (using
the redhat4.2 distribution) ...

i put in my username  and password, dialup to mindspring (4046541300),
it puts the correct information out there, but mindspring returns
'invalid login' (or some message like that)...


i also tried using minicom, to test the username / password.. same
result...


i know the username /pw works, cuz it works in Win95's DUN..


what am i missing?


thanks for your help,

  -dave
