I read it :) I use a script similar to the one E.C. posted and dip to get PPP running. dip is the old way though, chat I think seems to be the newer way. Also, if you use CompuServe, you need to switch to 7 bits do the password stuff and then switch to 8 bits. I use dip because I couldn't figure out how to get chat to do 7 bits. Also, make sure that your modem is set up right. You should have a symbolic (or hard) link from /dev/modem to /dev/cua0 if your modem is on com port 1. /dev/cua1 if com2, and so on. Sorry, I am speaking geekeze now. It really is good to know a little about your hardware. With Linux you have the control over your computer , not an OS which guesses half of everything wrong and won't let you configure it yourself. That is the benefit of going through the pain of reading and getting it working.
