Re: [MiNT] MiNT-Net under FreeMiNT 1.15.12 dials

you need to add
noauth
to your ppprc file.
Somewhere in this part should be fine...perhaps after debug is a good spot.

Hope that gets ya going...
I pulled out lots of hair myself, and can't say what noauth does or why it
worked...it just finally got me online.
If it doesn't get you going check out this url, it helped me alot!
http://www.ndh.net/home/kehr/atari/Atari.htm
In particular see the insturctions for installing the mintnet for dummies
package that can be found in html by browseing that site. He explains how to set
up the ppprc files and such.  The site also offers some nice GEM utilities for
dialing in from your desktop, and setting up more than one chat-file (different
isp services) from the desktop.

good luck,
Brian
