Hi all, I have friend whom I have persuaded to use Debian instead of Win95 :-) He wants to \have an internet connection from his home. As his situation is of interest to me since my studying days will soon be over and I will ghave to move from ethernet to modem as well I have the following question. Will setting up PPP be straightforward or tricky for a novice like him (I will be helping but I am a novice in PPP as well ) ? What is the best setup in temrs of the internet providers i.e. what is available (e.g. 1) simple email, 2)just telneting to an internet provider's host machine 3) a whole IP address (like I have now) 4) some other setup ). More specifically is it possible (and not extremely expensive ) to be connected all the time and have his own ip address ? I guess that all the questions apart from the first one will be more relevant to UK users. Any help would be greatly appreciated. George
