Possible PPP Error Clues....

[P Eads <peads nilenet com>]

Hello,

At the suggestion of another user, I tracked down the messages file and
ifconfig and got the following information regarding my ppp connection. I
hope that someone can educate me on what I need to do to fix the ppp
problem. I think the char-major-108 problem is fixed from info I've
already received.

Thanks for the help.

for ifconfig:

lo         Link encap: Local Loopback
            inet addr: 127.0.0.1  Mask: 255.0.0.0
            Up Loopback running   MTU: 3924 Metricil
             Rx pockets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
             Tx pockets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
                collisions:0 txqueuelan:0

I had an error in the term window when I did this and it is the following:

file gtkwidget.c: line 1584 (gtk_widget_map): assertion
"GTK_Widget_Visible (widget)=True' Failed


Looking at the messages file the only two things that I could see that
might be affecting the connection is a line that says "can't open indirect
secret file (password). The modem disconnects right after this or goes
into a continuous loop before it times out. The other thing that might
mean something is "can't locate module char-major-108".
