I just installed Antix 13.1 and I set up the Gnome PPP exactly as I had it in Antix 12 and my PCLinuxOS but it dials up, connects and then immediately disconnects.
I called my ISP and the woman was lost because I was not using a version of windows. I have two blank settings the DNS domain name and the prompt and I'm
wondering if something should go in there?

Has anyone else had a problem like this with Antix 13.1??

I re-installed Antix 13.1 and the problem persists! Is there something that I am supposed configure or disable to get the dial up to work properly?

In order to make PPPoE run on a Debian station you should follow the following steps:

install a Linux kernel which has:
ppp and pppoe support enabled (module or built-in). Kernels compiled by Debian have them.

Might be a Kernel problem cousin Lucky as PCLOS uses a different kernel than the one hand rolled by Anti for 32 bit AntiX 13.1 (you might have found a bug) . All I can think of is for you to download Liqourix Kernel Image and headers debs on Pclos and then install them into AntiX via dpkg -i command. I hope this does not fly over your head. I am sick so my brain aint firing on all cylinders yet either.

or use a debian kernel image and header Edit: going by above quote. The Debian kernel should be a better choice than Liqourix maybe.

Since I am not 100% Cousin Lucky. Wait and see if anyone else confirms I pointed to the right .deb files so you install the right ones. You are running 32 bit AntiX 13.1 I take it?

You can put the .debs for image and header on cd or usb and transfer over to your AntiX install. Copy them over into /home/your user name

Then open terminal and as root
Use tab key for auto complete to save on typing mistakes. Hit enter/return key and let it install.

then again
tab key to auto complete again. Hit enter/return key and let it install.

When done.
Hit enter/return key and let it update grub with the new kernel you just installed and put it in the grub menu.

Let it finish. Then reboot into new kernel from list and try PPP again. That is the best I can think of tonight bro and I feel pretty bad so give me a hand guys.

Has anyone successfully used the Gnome PPP in Antix 13.1??

I've never tried, but I have a pc at home that still has a modem, so I'll try this afternoon and let you know.

Thanks I look forward to hearing from you!

unfortunately mine did not work with either the current antix kernel or the debian 3.2 kernel available in the repos. I'm not sure why. Gnome PPP never registered a dial tone, although the modem was recognized. I never use it though so it may not actually work.

sorry I couldn't be more help.

Thanks Dolphin_oracle, I do not think anyone using the dial up in Antix 13.1 is going to be able to connect it to the Internet.
I wonder if the Gnome PPP from Antix 12 could be used in Antix 13.1?? I wonder if the folks that developed the distro are even
going to ever bother to correct this??

Well I tried going into spacefm as root and putting my user name and password into /ect/wvdial.conf and like everything else that did not work!!
My Hair Hurts!!
