Please explain in detail the trouble you are having with the installation.

[Damnation]

its installs the configs are messed up, like no entries but it does state somewhere that dialup, may not be able to use it : o/

[daniewicz]

Is there any detailed information in /var/log/messages?

Why do you have AOL? is there some reason why AOL is the only option?

 

DSL is only $5.00 a month more than AOL.

 

AOL is the most expensive dial-up in the United States.

 

AOL is the worst rated dial-up in the united states as rated by dial-up customers.

 

Just not sure why anyone still uses them.

[Damnation]

why? because i am 19 a college student who earns £0

my mums pays for it and she loves aol

i am in england and aol is the best 56k dialup others disconnect every 2 hours aol i am online for days.

 

until end of july i am not able to get adsl. but when i am i am hopeing to get a 1-2 mb connection and run off an isp called zen.

 

until then i have to run aol.

 

and aol isn't that bad, if u use their dialer, i hate that waol.exe thing.

i installed all the ppp packages i could find in rpmdrake

 

i couldn't find a tun/tap

 

any help would be so greatfully taken

ok so i've been suing pengaol, peng.

so i search for penggy, find source compile failed.

 

saying is guile installed(it needs it)

i dunno so i go to

 

http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/10.1...-3mdk.i586.html

 

download all, the glibs won't install they just hang.

 

the rest are already installed

 

i downloaded and installed the universal tun/tap driver

 

then i downloaded penggy from here http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/mandrake/10.1...rake_Linux.html

 

the source didn't want to install so i tried a rpm, and seeing as its for my mandrake version i thought can't go wrong. now with all other dialers i've downloaded NONE have tried to dial NONE have connected NONE have activated my modem.

 

and omfg penggy did it dialed up my modem was connected, in the consol it stated ip tunneling working.

i am like yes o yes finally.

and here comes the problems

although i was connected to the internet on my aol account.

 

my td/rd(transmit data/recieve data) lights weren't flashing when i tried gaim or konquerer

 

so the good news is i can GET online i just can't send or recieve data. if anyone has any ideas why please let me know!

[Damnation]

ok i found out what the problem was, my firewall was blocking the internet i sorted that, my new problem is as follows.

 

whilst i am on linux the modem is fine but when i restart, the modem doesn't work, for a short time i decided to just uninstall penggy. and reinstall it and edit the files.

 

well today i took a look and when penggy did on install was create a symlink called modem. the problem is.

after a reboot is done that symlink is gone.

 

any ideas how to fix this?

[DragonMage]

The simplest thing is to add this symlink manually into your /etc/rc.local file. So add a line like this into your /etc/rc.local

 

ln -s /dev/<modem device> /dev/modem

 

Then after each reboot, the symlink will be made automatically.

 

Good luck

[Damnation]

just to tie the ends of this.

that problem is a programming error, i did try what u suggested the result was like it couldn't read the file correctly. like for example a french person talking to me. i'd go cokeyed.

 

but thanx for all your help!
