Michael,

While I know this isn't the answer you are looking for, it works quite well.
Grab a 3Com Office Connect Lan Modem or Dual 56K Lan Modem (for multilink)
and forget about using a dialer on your pc. I gave up on dialers, dial on
demand, etc. a couple of years ago and I've been relying on the OCLM ever
since. I've used several models - the standard OCLM, the old dual LM, the
new dual LM (3c888), and the ISDN LM. All work great, plus they will handle
the dial on demand along with DNS, DHCP, and NAT for you. All configured
right through a web browser.

Subject: I'm pissed off, now....

Hi,

I have always used Mandrake 8, but since it lacks Ximian support - I
switched to Redhat 7.1. I like it, except for this one thing. MY
INTERNET CONNECTION!!! rp3 just sucks, and so I'm forced to use kppp -
even though I'm using GNOME. Anyways, in Mandrake I had to add the
argument "novj" to make kppp work properly (I could connect fine, but
activity would only last for a minute or so. My connection would stay
connected, but there wasn't any activity) . Now, I've having the same
problem with Redhat - except that even with "novj" I can only do
something with my connection that will only take minute or so...


Please, I have emailed several lists - and no response. I don't want to
have to use windows any more, I love using Linux and I don't want to
have to stop using linux because of this ennoyance.

Thanks in advance, look forward to hearing from anyone who thinks they
can help....

Michael
