Hello again people, I received no email yesterday from the group, no spam either, but I have no way of knowing whether anyone replied to my request for help, or whether anyone even saw it. Now that everything seems to be working again, I'll post the error message I got one more time. Sorry if this is repetitive. /sbin/adsl-start: line 217: $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1 Does anyone know what this means and what I can do about it? -- Regards, Fred Williams <unclefred [ at ] fredwilliams [ dot ] ca> <http://www.fredwilliams.ca>
