for the most part, now my question is, does anyone have diald working w/
mindspring? I dialed in w/ minicom and the login sequence is ogin: then
word: but for some reason the connect script still isnt working. When I
try to connect this is in the logs

Does anyone have a connect script that is working w/ diald and mindspring
they could send me? 
Thanks again
