Part of the problem with this is that my dialup isn't working under
linux right now. kppp moans about a lack of resolve.conf, but carries
on anyway, but pppd seems to die for no reason. I am confused. I have
to check out under windows, but as noone marks binary files with -kb in
our cvs (or the trolls) it is pain in the neck. I'll have another go
at getting it to work.
