Could someone bring kpppconfig to bandersnatch? It won't unpack when I put
Mandrake 9.0 back on my box. If someone would be willing to bring me every
thing to do with kppp it would be even better. kpppconfig is what I know
is missing (via Hans) but there may be more. It would be terrific if that
someone could give me a call and I could getit before Bandersnatch but if
noone is willining to do that then Bandersnatch will work for me

Is it a message from Mars? Is it an attempt to mix Klingon with Medu
Neter?

Actually Mars is in San Francisco, the beer there is pretty good, the
food edible and unlike the Bandersnatch below there is no connectivity.

New York. No connectivity there either, but pretty good food at an
underground colony beneath the red sands.

I can only think that Michael misaddressed this. He is a member of the
Phoenix AZ lug and the bandersnatch is a local bar the part of the lug
meets at monthly.

Not quite sure how he managed to get this so misaddressed.

(The only "Bandersnatch" I know of is a 58' ferrocement boat about 200
yards away from mine ...

A couple years ago there used to be a Bandersnatch Pub in Tempe
Arizona, right near the University. It was a microbrewery with
a free Internet drop. I used to go there frequently during the
six months or so that I was "wastin' away in Motorolaville" (working
on a <A HREF="http://www.linuxcare.com/">Linuxcare</A> contract at the Motorola Computer Products division
helping them with their HA-Linux project).

Wow! Of all the gin joints in the world --- who'da thunk that
three people on this list would all be aware of the same Bandersnatch pub
in a place like Arizona! (BTW: Tempe and Phoenix are essentially one
urban area --- I thought Bandersnatch was in Tempe, but that point is moot).

Right you are Jim. It is in Tempe. The LUG here is known as PLUG
(Phoenix LUG) but they really cover the metro area include Tempe,
Scottsdale, Glendale, etc.
</blockQuote>
<blockQuote>
As a gin joint they have good beer, food is edible and the connectivity
pretty good.

Does it get the bowsprit mixed with the rudder sometimes?

&lt;sadly&gt; It wouldn't matter if it did. "the Man at the Helm shall speak
to no one.", so remonstrance is impossible.

(To those of you who are confused, see Lewis Caroll's "The Hunting of
the Snark" (An Agony, in Eight Fits.) Hint: you're <em> _supposed</em> to be
confused.

It was a
bit startling to see someone talking about "bringing $X to
Bandersnatch"; I got Norm converted to Linux a while back, and was
wondering if he was asking for help here.

<blockquote><IMG SRC="../../gx/dennis/bbub.gif" ALT="(!)"

> [Scissors] So in conclusion: Frumious had no problem teleporting
a copy of kppp wherever it needed to go, the Mandrake was advised to avoid
the jub jub bird while reconfiguring, and no boojums were harmed in the
drawing up of this column. Lewis Carroll is welcome to join the Answer Gang
at any time, provided he can get away from his mathemagical textbooks.
Other ppp configurators include: xisp, wvdial, debian's "pppconfig" and
a few dockapps. I believe gkrellm also has simple plugins for this
feature.
