I have a couple of questions: 1. Sometime when I boot the machine everything works OK until login prompt appears and I cannot type in anything, so I have to reboot it. The second time is always OK. 2. I tried to setup user PPP as the handbook suggested. When typing in ppp and then term (or dial mysite), I get "cannot open modem" error message. If you encounter the problems above, could you please help? Thank you. -- Binh Do Department Of Computer Science University Of BC, Canada
