FIXED IT!



I finally figured it out!!

Alright, this is really stupid, but the reason my MiNTNEt stopped working
is because of my modem.

I recently started connecting it to a 3b2/400 AT&T SysVr4 Unix system
that does not have RTS/CTS flow control - so I set the modem to software
flow control.  I don't have PPP set to escape XON/XOFF characters!!

Changing the modem back to hardware flow control makes everything work
again.  This may be why some people can't make STiK/CAB work too!  I
haven't tried that yet.  

I'm too lazy to look up how to escape JUST XON/XOFF for PPP in the
options file.  Does anyone know it off the top of their head?  I'll
just escape those two and go back to software flow for the Unix system.

CYA,
Evan
