[AuckLUG] Dialup problem with dialup to Xtra

[John O'Gorman]

Hi 

Has anyone had problems in the last 24 hours with Xtra dialups

Specifically a friend of mine with a SuSE Linux laptop now gets a 2nd
prompt saying Login/Network User: which causes his program to interpret
this as a further login: request. The ISP then says that the CLI wants a
keyword: LOGIN NETWROK PPP.

His setup worked fine up till yesterday.

Our attempts to use the Xtra helpline 0800 253 878 then 2 then 2
resulted in an Alice in Wonderland conversation with an Oriental
gentleman whoses first reaction was "We don't support Linux".

We would welcome any helpful suggestions.

regards
