Hi, I was wondering if anybody can help me with getting the user PPP program working. I set up all of the options, verified that I can talk to my modem (via the term command), and have had it successfully dial out to the ISP. However, once the connection is made (from term mode), PPP just displays a "<" on a line by itself. It won't respond to any commands other than the "~." and "~P" commands. I can't seem to use any of the TCP/IP programs either such as ping or ftp as they report that they have a DNS lookup failure. Anybody have any ideas on what I can configure or where I can look for more info? Thanks, Leonard P.S. Does anybody know why they call a TCP/IP stack a stack? Why isn't it called a queue as, correct me if I'm wrong, data sent to the stack is send out FIFO.
