The question is that with 'noauth' set, why do you need a user parameter? Normally, you just dial #777 and then do the sync part. It took me all of 2 minutes to get going in kppp (woulda been faster but I had to modload the usbserial module with the right parameters).<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>Bob<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Cyber Source <peter@thecybersource.com><br>To: nflug@nflug.org<br>Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 10:56:40 AM<br>Subject: Re: [nflug] for the scripters<br><br><div>I figured the script to

That applet was replaced<br>> by a modem app that just takes you to the network-admin and doesn't have<br>> the lights, etc..<br>> Reasons for all this.<br>> 1. I setup an ubuntu laptop to use Verizons Mobile Broadband with a<br>> pcmcia card.<br>> 2. Got that working great but I had to make a pppd script to call <br>> chat, etc.<br>> 3. I would like something to show that he's online or not and/or<br>> something to click to make the connection and to disconnect.<br>> respectively with a light (pic) to designate connected (green) or<br>> disconnected (red).<br>> 4. It doesn't have to be all inclusive, if he has to click an icon to<br>> connect
and one to disconnect, that's fine (although I sure any<br>> programmer will want to make it all work as concisely as possible).<br>> Anywho, all I really want is something like an icon that could change<br>> it's pic based on whether a lock file (modem) is in place or not. I can<br>> work with the rest.<br>> Help please?<br>> TIA<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> nflug mailing list<br>> nflug@nflug.org<br>> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.nflug.org/mailman/listinfo/nflug">http://www.nflug.org/mailman/listinfo/nflug</a><br>><br>><br>> ------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>> Fussy?
