I still can't connect to the internet with Xandros deluxe 3 using a
NetComm internal modem for which Xandros has a driver - or at least it
seems to connect and then says connection failed.

I'm working slowly and carefully through an oldish paper by WG Unruh
entitled 'How to hook up PPP in Linux', and have got to the section
entitled no default route. He advises to run /sbin/route -nr and says
that 0.0.0.0 should not be there and 127.0.0.1 should be. I don't see
either; all I see is

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface

with no numbers or anything else. What does this mean? Should I try to
make it read 127.0.0.1, and if so how?

I'm almost completely a newbie, which is why I'm going slowly and
carefully and asking questions.

By the way, can anyone point me please to a more recent howto for
newbies to establish an internet connection? I've found one from the
Melbourne PC Users Group which deals with setting up kppp - but I
can't find kppp in Xandros.

Regards, Alex
