chestnut dialer
I have spent hours trying to get chestnut dialer to work. I am not familiar with this dialer but am with the Gnome PPP dialer. I ran a live xfce 9 rc CD to test hardware and it works, The chestnut dialer does not activate the modem at all and the program will close when it should be dialing? I have googled for detailed instructions to see if I did something wrong but there is not much out there. Would installing Gnome ppp be a mistake?

Re: chestnut dialer
I gave up and installed Gnome-PPP and all is well. Chestnut is a POS!

Re: chestnut dialer
That sounds like what I recall happening to me in LXDE 8 when I tried Chestnut; it would just vanish. I don't recall exactly what happened in Xfce, only that I could not connect.capt wrote:I ran a live xfce 9 rc CD to test hardware and it works, The chestnut dialer does not activate the modem at all and the program will close when it should be dialing?
In contrast, I have consistently good experience with Gnome PPP in both PCLinuxOS Gnome edition and antiX (although there is some issue with having to run GPPP as root in antiX 8.5; see http://antix.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=2560 ) as well as KPPP in the main KDE-based edition of PCLinuxOS.
Perhaps Chestnut could be replaced by either GPPP or KPPP in Mint (and added to the main edition)?
Note that in addition to this post, my search now also returned a post at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... ut#p327530 saying,
in the current Mint 9 Fluxbox, Chestnut is positively worthless

Re: chestnut dialer
Any updates on this issue?
I see that that the Debian Edition of Linux Mint lists Gnome PPP as being included. It seems rather odd that LMDE would have this when even the main edition of Mint still doesn't seem to.
Also, an update since my last post, in which I had written,

A serious problem with GPPP that makes it unusable has been reported in the latest Gnome edition of PCLinuxOS. SeeDigital_Resistance wrote: In contrast, I have consistently good experience with Gnome PPP in both PCLinuxOS Gnome edition[...]
