Sorry... this time it didn't work. I tried a number of things, including
my old routine a few times, and worked at it for an hour. Then, noticing
that the debug window for KPPP was talking about password in the
authentication message, I went back and even though my ID and password
were in place, I re-typed the password. voila! After that it did go
through and I found myself online.
I wonder, was that a one-time thing, or will I just need to re-type the
password each time? I guess experience will tell.
At least I can proceed with my transition phases while I keep alert to
better ways to do this.
By the way, Eduardo, when I clicked on some links in Konqueror on KDE I
found myself on a site with articles by you. Seems you are a published
authority on these topics! <GRIN>
I notice you wrote several articles on Slackware, which raises another
question I've been thinking about. Maybe it's too soon for me to try out
other distros, but if I were to do that, which ones would be best? (any
one in the group may make suggestions) .
Blessings & Thanks,
Ruth
