ADSL modems

[alexillsley]

Hi,
I have just been folowing this tutorial to get my speed touch adsl modem to work -> http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/suse/suse-9.2.html#pppoe

However when it comes to configuring i just get errors:

server1:/tmp/speedtouch # kate /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch
kate: cannot connect to X server

Any ideas why?

Thanks,
Alex

Do you use a desktop (GNOME or KDE) on that system?

I use KDE:)

Which means you have an X server running. But I don't know why you get the cannot connect to X server error then... :confused:

Thanks, but it doesnt matter any more i have a found another way, i have got the modem working however when i attempt to dial it says it already exists:

server1:~ # ./dial
ATM dev 0: ADSL line is up (5696 kb/s down | 448 kb/s up)
ATM dev 0: ADSL line is up (5632 kb/s down | 448 kb/s up)

Any idea why, and how i could fix it?
