Re: [aclug-L] Dumb Question #137 : Southwind Connect

["Carl B. Davis" <cdavis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John, 

I downloaded linuxppp.tar and installed.  I guess I don't know what to
do next.  It connects, but nothing more.  I tried to Ping at
206.53.103.2, but I get 100% loss, no reply.  Netscape gets nothing. 
Following is the log file from my latest effort.  It also appears I have
a security hole with pap-secrets.  Any suggestions?  
Carl
