I am not connected to a network and have no network card in my pc. I do have a 14400 internal modem on com1 irq4 in my pc. When I run "seyon", I get the following messages: Warning: Could not execute `seyon-emu. Notice: Falling to `xterm'. Modem initialization routine failed What's wrong here? I have run "ppp" and am able to make a connection using "term", but things don't work properly. The automatic dial routine does not work. When I do get connected manually by using the "atdt" commands, I am not able to ping any hosts even by using their IP addresses. Packets are transmitted, but none are received. What could be wrong? I connect to the "PPP" line as follows: atdt1234567890 The following is what happens upon connection. CONNECT 14400 Checking authorization, Please wait... Annex username: my username Annex password: my password Permission granted annex: ppp Here is some information for my "PPP" line. I have a "static" IP address given by my internet provider. The netmask is 255.255.240.0 instead of the usual 255.255.255.0 Help would be appreciated on how to configure "User PPP", and on how to make "seyon" run. Sandip Srivastava e-mail: ssriva1@gl.umbc.edu
