[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.
