Hi all,
As I didn't receive any response for this question, I am posting it again.
Please help!
I am using ezppp to dialup to my isp. When I was trying to open the
bookmarks in netscape, suddenly it started acting weird, and it started
generating many errors in a loop and I was not able to stop it so I just
quitted the xwindows with Alt+Backspace. (without disconnecting the
internet connection)
In ezppp there is a button which will toggle between "connect" and
"disconnect". When the connection is up the ezppp should show
"disconnect" on the button. But when I again started the xwindows, I
found the button on ezppp as "connect" that means it has disconnected.
So I tried "ps aux|grep pppd" and I found that the pppd is running. Then
I killed the pppd with the "kill" command and when I again started the
ezppp and clicked the "connect" button I got the error saying "cannot
open modem device".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
jo
