Internet Connect

Upgraded to 10.1 now. Still no "carrier" option (network prefs/ PPP/ Options).
Again redial etc is there, but nothing about the carrier.
Admiral ?

I don't know about 10.1 (still waiting for my copy) but in 10.0 it's:
System Preferences - Network - Configure: port name - Modem - Wait for dial tone before dialling.

Hope this helps.

Has that annoying freeze bug thing been fixed in 10.1, where the whole machine would lock up for upto 5mins b4 it would connect?

I have had it lock up for about 5 secs before (in 10.1 on an iMac)

Thank you monty. I disabled the dial tone thing. However, I still seem to get those funny error messages. Have to talk to my ISP. Last Sunday I gave it 50 (!) tries, but no way to connect. Then I switched to an alternative provider and -voilà_ the first attempt got me connected. I need to talk to my ISP

Well, as for the freeze, yes that happened under 10.1, too. But only for like 1 minute or so. After the first restart that freeze disappeared.

well "laibukki" that's actually me "Dekatophil"

Sorry guys, didnt mean to blow you off

System Preferences - Network - Configure: port name - Modem - Wait for dial
tone before dialling.

that was what I was talking about

Next time I need to choose my words more carefully

Fair enough.
Problem didn't go away though. Haven't been able to connect to my ISP recently at all. Tried an alternative ISP and got connected right away.
Man, somebody's gonna have it...
