new monitor

[Bob Hemus]

Before I start whining & bitching, I want to thank Kurt for putting me on to 
the flat screen Samsung.  It is great.  Much brighter and clearer than my 
old 17" sylvania CRT.
Now my whining & bitching.... I bought WinXPeee.  I needed it for my insulin 
pump software.  I installed it on my new harde drive and partitioned it for 
linux partitions.  IO left the old hd in, too.  I couldn't get any of the 
old linux partions or the new on I had installed to connect to the internet 
server, but the XP did.  Does the XP do something to the /dev/modem so the 
server doesn't see it?  I'm using either LibraNet 2.8.1 or Ubuntu Breezy or 
Kubuntu Breezy.  The ones on the old hd always worked until I put the new 
drive in and installed XP and Ubuntu Breezy on it.

Any ideas, suggestions or solutions?  The error log I get is something to 
the effect that the passsword can't be found.  I have worked pppconfig a 
dozen times and in Kbuntu the Kppp setup, to no good out comes.
Thanks,
Bob
