Am trying to get the computer of my friend from Pass Christian, MS to connect to his AT&T account. I have it here in NO and am using 324-1310 to dial in. He just had to have a new hard disc and was using only WordPad as software, so what an opporunity to migrate!
I installed RH 7.2 and had no trouble connecting with my BellSouth account. But AT&T keeps giving me the same message: "login failed, reason =(-190, diltx45ev,1022xxxxxx-000," etc. and "Connection closed by foreign host."
AT&T's personnel over chathelp.att.net have ranged from apologetic to downright rude. They referred me to a web page devoted to Linux connections, which didn't help. When I logged in to chathelp again is when I got the rude person.
There must be some simple difference between AT&T and BellSouth setup. I was also getting BellSouth but not AT&T on my Linux box (newly upgraded to 7.2), but it drops off to at preset. I am writing on my HP notebook connected thru BellSouth's ADSL. Getting my Linux box to connect here is my next project.
I'm supposed to go to Pass Christian on Friday and take my friend's computer back to him. He's putting on a family reunion on 6/8-9 and needs his e-mail!
