If you're using RP3, you shouldn't have to worry about whether you can
connect in your user account: RP3 *should* take care of this for you.

From your user account, go to the RH PPP Dialer, or create your account with
the Dialup Configuration Tool. You'll be required to enter root's password,
but this is because you're going to be making configuration changes.
