Is this the Internet Connect Bug?
Authored by: WillyT on Jan 30, '02 08:59:22PM

It took slmost 10 minutes to connect this evening.

I figured IE had nothing to go with this. My favorite browser is Netscape 4.7. Runs ok from Classic. 2nd is IE 5.1 from X. Netscape from X is just not usable for me. I think it is a completely different code base from 4.7.

Looking at the system log I get this:
Jan 30 18:48:18 Darwin pppd[25357]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
Jan 30 18:57:58 Darwin mach_kernel: AppleSCCModem(253ad00): setPowerState is called -- powerStateOrdinal = 1
Jan 30 18:57:59 Darwin mach_kernel: keylargo bit 2 set

Then it dials out. Between the first and second log entries the machine is useless.

Looks like I need to read pppd man page.
