It dawned on me I found a lot of error code 16s when I googled, so maybe I should put what the deal was for mine.
When I sign in through windoze, they have their own dialer software. I put in a 5 digit "user name" they assigned me. I also pay extra for the accelerator program (with a connection speed of 28800 I am sure you can see why). The user code for the accelerator you enter one time and it is something like rt then nine different
digits@itn.multidial.com
Now I already knew the accelerator software won't work with linux, they told me. But they have been nice about trying to help. So, when I tried to sign in, I put in the 5 digit user code for my normal dialup, the one I always use. It didn't work, the one that did is the rt+9 different digits@yadasoonandsoforth. The one I actually won't be using at all is the one that works. So, in case anyone else is stumbling around.........
Ok Dilbert, one last question,
What does "Hech gap yo'q." mean??
Thanks again, for being such a good teacher, and so kind!
