Hi group, |

I have been switching my dial-up account between my desktop PC and my |
| 4 |
netbook eee. Both use identical ppp conf files except the PC uses |
| 5 |
/dev/ttyS0 and the netbook uses /dev/ttyUSB0(created by the pl2303 |
| 6 |
driver and a usb/serial connector). I'm using separate but identical |
| 7 |
USR modems. |

|

Both seem to "work" in that the appropriate LEDs light up on either |
| 10 |
modem but the log tells a different tale. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
In the PC: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid nnnn), status = 0x1. |
| 13 |
Which means I am connected. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
In the netbook, status =0x0. Which means un-connected. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
FWIW on the netbook I'm using systemrescuecd-1.2.0, running /root% |
| 18 |
pon <isp> on one terminal and attempting to emerge gentoo-sources from |
| 19 |
a chrooted environment on another terminal which fails, naturally, |
| 20 |
with 'unable to resolve host address' errors. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
I've done this often before without problems. |
