 1) Set everything you can in the configuration thingy, including
    local & remote ip addresses, nameserver addresses etc. Don't
    leave anything blank if you can help it.

 2) Add to the startup script window something like 

       'otocol:' 'PPP,Idle=33'

    so that it will respond to the protocol prompt.

 3) Get the new version of usernet from the redhat errata.

 4) Edit /etc/sendmail.cf so that the DS and Dj lines read

      DSsmtp:post.demon.co.uk
      Djfootie.demon.co.uk

    or whatever domain you are using.

  5) Edit the mail aliases if you need to.

 Now everything should rock & roll. BTW it took me 3 days to read the
sendmail docs, and 1 munute to do the edit...
