Try "wvdial". This programm comes with SUSE. Check Redhat FTP for RPM.

	Hi!

 You have posted to _much_ too many groups , also to groups that aren't
meant for your problem or that aren't public. Are you really reading all
this groups? If not - you should _at least_ set the Followup-To: header
to the group(s) you are reading.
 I stripped off all apana.* groups for I don't think they are available
publically. On the other hand - at.linux is an Austrian Group and should
be discussed in the german language. So you are wrong here either. I
also stipped linux off for I don't really think there is a top-level
group?
 For I don't know which group you are reading I didn't set a
Followup-To:

 Did you try wvdial? I think it should be part of the RedHat-
Distribution, too. You just have to use insert the Username, the
Password and the Phone-# into the config file. The program itself is
quite intelligent and tries to get the rest by itself.

 HTH!
