[MiNT] Minor mystery solved
Drive died, short reads getting more frequent, got new drive for
external box, and reloaded EasyMiNT. Dial but no connect.
Do not know if it will work a second time, but changing the peers
file used by pppd to specify both name and host for "user"
produced satisfactory results. Up until now, doing that only in
the pap-secrets file was enough.
That leaves another minor mystery to wonder about, why a computer
did something different than usual, but I have MiNT (1.15.12)
dialing and connecting again.
Actually, did this reloading EasyMiNT routing several times, and
got a third minor mystery. Could ping or traceroute by name, but
not telnet or ftp. There was a bus error at the end of loading
the rpm rpm, and that might have done it. First bus error in a
very long time.
