Hi all,

there is a simple wayt to use debian and redhat packages in any slack 7.1 
distrib just install mc ( midnight commander and mc-menu 1.5 ) then you can 
convert rpm or deb packages to tgz !

but be careful of the libc version of debian and redhat , my experience : it 
works with redhat 6.2 7.1 and debian 2.2

you can found mini mc and mc-menu on my web.

cheers 

Jean-Philippe

OK, I got a little confused about that. But it
really doesn't matter... the logging wouldn't
cause the login to stop working anyway, or
would it?

Yes, my ISP is a little strange in its
non-standard authentication methods.

But it doesn't hurt to leave it in, and I
think it does, in fact, use PAP/CHAP in addition
to the terminal scripts.

Uh-huh... there's two separate username and
password prompts.

> What's %5Cr ?

That's a carriage return after the prompt. I
wasn't sure if I needed to send another CR, so I
put it in anyway. Even if I remove it, the
login attempt still fails.

I know, and in Mandrake and Windows, with the
same modem, the OK only takes about one second.
But for some reason, in BL it takes significantly
longer.

I don't know where it came from. I gave you the
full eznet.conf file.

It's an X2 modem... it can connect at 31200 with
a V.90 ISP, or at 46,666 with an X2 ISP.

Yes.

I have a soundcard that BL detects as on ttyS0
and ttyS1. Also, there's a winmodem that Windows
detects on COM3.

4.

Sorry, but I'm not at that comp right now. I'll
have to try it out later and let you know.

But what could it be? In Mandrake, nothing
clashes and it works perfectly with KPPP.

But it works fine with 2 other OSs. So what can
I try?

I confirm this problem.  It is *very* annoying.
flwriter is painful to use when it is in "lag" mode.

Which menu?

I find it difficult to get back to fast mode.  Sometimes
pressing ENTER gets me back to fast mode.  Changing the
type size usually works.

Same here.  All the characters (on the line I'm typing) 
blink as I type new characters (fast mode).  Characters 
on other lines do not blink.  When typing in lag mode,
no characters blink.

> This program is not usable on my system.

I agree.  The lag problem is ruins it.

If it's the pre-2000 version, don't bother.  I've spent
a lot of time with the old Maxwell and it's not worth it.
