Hi folks,

I was wondering if anyone is using linux to dial up best.
I can currently do it manually as described in
/usr/doc/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO

after intalling redhat linux 5.1 CD (that's the version I am using).

... by running:


minicom
and
pppd -d -detach /dev/modem 38400 &



This faq also states that if I do the automatic dialup, I may need to
rebuild the kernel to support
pppd. That seems strange to me, since if it works manually, there should be
a way to set things up
without rebuilding the kernel.


Thanks.


Peter

Assuming you have X up, just use the control-panel Network
Configuration applet. Does most of the basic stuff you're likely to
need.
