Hi all

I seem to have got myself into trouble again !.

I have an external account at UQ and use Robert Brockway's excellent script
to connect my machine to the Internet. So far so good. Telnet works, ftp
works, I even got masquerading working so the windows machine didn't feel
left out.

My  problem is the error strings returned by the script after it connects.
The script reports the local and remote IP addresses ok but then prints an
error message along the lines of "STTY : can't reset terminal" or something
like that repeated about four times.. Sorry I can't be more specific

A look in /var/log/pppd.debug.log shows the following entries.

Oct 28 09:26:40 Dragon pppd[166]: local  IP address 203.101.236.75
Oct 28 09:26:40 Dragon pppd[166]: remote IP address 130.102.2.96

Oct 28 19:26:46 Dragon chat[176]: Can't restore terminal parameters: Invalid
argument
Those last two messages are repeated another 3 times.
I think the messages are occuring at the exit 0 point of function -u.

I don't think this is a problem with Robert's script. It's more likely to be
something I've done while "exploring". I should probably mention I'm still
pretty new to Linux, have very basic shell scripting skills and no knowledge
of C.  I'm pretty good at creating problems though.

My login shell is tcsh if that has anything to do with it.
Thanks,
             John.
