linux to an imac

2002-04-25 12:24 / rubbish ppp  »

It seems terribly eager to dial up my isp - not a bad thing in itself, but costly at the mo' till I get the adsl. So it gets unplugged from the line at night because I don't trust it on its own not to, e.g. auto start Quicktime - the 'Midnight Movie' perhaps - which in turn would decide it needed a 30MB upgrade.

It may be eager to dial, but its also just as eager not to stay on line once its there. Three times in three hours it hung up last night. Linux didn't do that, honestly.
