I recently installed penggy version 0.2.1 after trying to get pengaol to install and having no luck (prob cuz im a newb). i got penggy installed fine and it seemed to have no errors. i followed the instructions to configure it and didn't have any prob with those. i started the program and it connects ok and then after a few seconds it says the server dropped the connection. Here's the exact output i get when i try to connect:

Using /dev/modem device...
Dialing Provider...
Dialing 5074057
Connection at 50667b/s done.
Executing chat script (/usr/local/share/penggy/chat/aolnet.scm)...

Script: String 'Connected' matched
Script: Chat success
Chat success, connected...
Unable to initialize the modem
Unable to initialize the modem
Unable to register P3 protocol functions, access is not connected

Server drop the connection.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - i'm getting really frustrated with it!

is there some reason why no one is answering my post? i posted it like a week and a half ago and everyone else seems to get a reply within a day. if there's something i did wrong or i didn't include enough info someone could at least tell met that instead of ignoring it completely.

I asked for help on penggy sometime back and got no reply as well.

I figure:

1. no one wants to admit to using using AOL on a Linux machine to access the internet.
2. Penggy is a Linspire/AOL collaboration and will never work with other distros.

Also, from my google searches on the topic, I have read posts from successful Penggy users in France. You might want to look alittle further on this. One site I found had english and french pages.
