So as I think I've posted here before, I can't convince my LCIII to connect to teh intarwebs via my dialup ISP (yes, I know, I know) for love nor money. Anyway, just today I decided to haul out the 1400 and try connecting with it, which worked fine a year ago. (and I haven't touched the dialup settings since then)
It works fine up until it tries starting the network protocols, when it does the same thing as my LCIII - it says that a reliable connection could not be established and thus the link is terminated. Keep in mind, said 1400 is running Mac OS 9.1, and is using the Remote Access software that comes with OS 9.

Just makes me wonder...is there a chance that they could have done something that makes classic Mac OS have a hiccup and die? They haven't actually supported anything below OS X for years, but as of I think even 8 months ago I was still able to connect via OS 9 and have it work perfectly.
find out what protocols the isp uses to connect. eg if they use ms chap it wont be good. 2.in ot let the stack verbose log so u can find out where it fails . modify _a.t._ string to suit. 3. no satisfaction? there r a couple of isps in brizzie that have a nationwide dial in with only web support- appart from first connection issues. their servers
