[gentoo-user] Switching to Bellsouth dial-up, trying to anyway. :-(

[Dale <dalek@exceedtech.net>]

Hi,

I'm trying to switch ISPs over to Bell South.  I can not get it to
connect up though.  I have tried wvdial and Kppp with no luck.  This is
what I am getting.

When I tried to use Kppp, I got this error:

I did a google search and nothing made sense to me.  I did try adding
lcp-max-configure 30 to /etc/ppp/options though.  Still no go.

Anybody have a clue on how to fix this??

Thanks
