Well, that didn't help any. I also forgot to mention that I do have it |
61 |
set up on Kppp to use pap/chap. It doesn't work either. I don't know |
62 |
where LCP came from. Any way to force it to disable that in ppp options? |
63 |
|
64 |
I'm not sure but maybe it is something to do with my modem. I had a |
65 |
different modem when I used my brothers account a long time ago. That |
66 |
is all that has changed on my end. |
67 |
|
68 |
Any more ideas? |

Copy n paste then remove the -remove-me- part. |
