I've got an odd issue with dial up and logging in. Kppp isn't giving me much love and from my ts I believe it's due to pppd starting before I can log in. So I tried doing so manually through kppp's mini term. Everything connects fine and I get prompted for my username. Here's where the fun starts. I can only type certain characters! For instance if I type my username
blahblah@myisp.com I get something that resembles eeeertec. But to throw a monkey to the wrench the characters that won't come up normally will come up in caps? So I attempt to be clever and copy/paste my un in and it shows up fine but I can't hit enter to procede! To make this slightly more clear if I wanted to type "b" it wouldn't come up but "shift+b" gives me "B". I don't see any sort of pattern and I tried different charsets but no joy. What makes this really interesting is that it does the same thing in wvdial and minicom. However in minicom I can't copy/paste my un but I can do "ctr+enter" which gives me "enter" and a password prompt. It appears that it doesn't like the input in some fashion but I have no idea why and I'm out of ideas! As far as the specifics I'm on a fresh install of rh9 and everything else works kewl. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Keyboard is usb if that means anything. Please advise!
