Thank you all who gave me help getting my modem and Netscape running.  I
finally can connect using Usernet and then my Netscape works as well.

Now, my first question is, I have a SupraExpress 56i modem and I am
getting incredibly slow connection rates.  Generally less than 1k.  I
have the modem speed set at 115200 but that obviously isn't making any
difference.  Anyone know what I can do to increase my connection speeds?

My second question is, how do I set up priveledges so that I can start
up PPP as a user.  Currently I can only connect as root and would really
rather not do that.

Here's some system info...

RH6.1 running on an AMD K6 -233 Mhz
SupraExpress 56k internal ISA modem
Using Usernet (rp3 1.0) to connect
Netscape 4.61
X-Chat IRC Client

TIA
Patrum
