I have changed locations from Florence, OR, where I was able to access an ISP via Linux to Port Orford, OR, where I can't.
Here's the problem:
1.) I have configured wvdial with the phone # of my Port Orford ISP. And placed the ISP's DNS (12.45.56.2) in a configuration file (can't recall name of file - think it is /etc/resolv.conf)
2.) I have brought up a terminal window and typed "wvdial Harborside"
3.)
I see in my screen:
Connect at 50,666/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS
Carrier detected
Port Orford dial 1
Login:
Looks like a login prompt
Sending

Password

Hmm...a prompt, sending "ppp"

Don't know what to do. Starting pppd and hoping for the best

4.)
