Re: KDE kppp network dialer

[Alan DeJong <annette@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Okay i got all that done!  Took a while i might add.  But now i have 2 more
problems.
1.  I set up the networking at everything, but when i try to connect it says:
"Sorry, modem doesn't respond"  why is that?

2.  When i go to mount my cdrom it says:  "Wrong fs type, bad option, bad
superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted filesystems"   i dont know why it would
do that.. i was able to mount my cdrom before...

thanks again,
-Alan
