dial-up connection
 
I'm using US Robotics Message Plus EXternal, did all setup, try to connect, modem is dialing number, starts hanshaking and then server disconect me because my computer try's to use slip connection. I need ppp. What could I did wrong?

What are you using for config? if you have KDE installed you can try kppp for ppp connections.

I'm not using graphic interface. I have tried to do it with chat+ppd then with wvdial.

It used to work before. Then I had to reinstal Linux so now I have to setup everything from the beggining.

I have not installed KDE, yet.

Then I an unsure how to do it cause I have dsl now and hadn't had to worry about ppp config.

In my country we don't have something like that. ISDN is fastest but also too expencive.

Also I need to know where did I go wrong so please if someone can, help me...

If you have wvdial.tcl installed then you can use that to set up your ppp connection.

hmmmmm
I will try to explain problem from the beggining. I'm using Slackware 8 and I have to connect to the Internet over modem. I have tried to use wvdial but it won't work. I tried to use chat+ppd scripts it won't workIn both cases. it dials number, hendsakes and then disconnect me saying that my provider doesn't allow slip protocol. I dont know why did he try to use slip when I need ppp.
I would like to share this problem. It may happen to someone else, again.
