Hey.
I have just obtained RH5.2, and installed it with no apparent probs.  My
Linux knowledge is almost non-existent, so I'm always going online to look
for answers.
    Unfortunately, this currently means rebooting to Win95 as one of the
problems I have is that I can't set up PPP or configure Netscape under
Linux/X.

    I am unsure if my modem (PnP netcomm Inmodem 33.6) is even set up.  I
have looked at pnpump and isapnp, but get limited info from them.  pnpdump
lists my modem, but I'm unsure where to go from here, or how to set up PPP
and things like DNS server IP addresses.
Any help would be appreciated
reply to this group and/or my email

thanks
Dave
