I'm going to take the easy out. I recently set myself up to do PPP to my service provider, and found the docs to be most helpful. There is information in the handbook, which is located in /usr/share/doc/handbook. Part 3 has poop on setting up PPP. To get it running, cd into the above directory and run: % lynx handbook.html This presupposes you have lynx installed. If not, it is a package on the CD-ROM. Hope that helps. -- +===============================================================+ | Bruce Olsen | Views expressed are my own, and not | | bolsen@duosystems.com | necessarily those of my company. | +===============================================================+
