For any of you thinking this might be a good idea, think again. I had a lovely service from Lineone. Could stay online all night without disconnection, then all of a sudden I couldn't connect, kept getting disconnected after 30 minutes, did not connect properly etc. (something wrong with the server's chap authentication - it would never get back to you with your IP) Now that Lineone have finished the "upgrades" they promised as they became Tiscali, I have only intermittent problems logging in, but still it disconnects every 180 minutes, so d/ling large files requires a ftp server that supports resuming. Sorry for the rant, but my Desktop PC's PSU just blew up, the arms fell off my chair, I have a cold and I'm feeling a little peeved off at the moment. Looks like Sun's Forte for Java does not like to be run on a 300MHz laptop with only 64MB of RAM either. Does EMACS have an auto-complete wizgig like the graphical IDEs I wonder? Cheers all, JB. Lo and Behold! Disconnected the second that I pressed "Send"! Now reconnecting it says "LCP terminated by peer" - This is not turning into a good week. Neil Williams wrote:
For those of you who may want to use Tiscali, or who are already using Tiscali via Windows, here's the config for the new dial-up number the Tiscali 50 etc services.

The settings may work with other ISP's - part of the code comes from a Force9 HowTo page: http://www.hades.force9.co.uk/linux/linux_force9.htm -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk neil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx linux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx neil@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
