OK, I ran pppconfig and after I was done I entered the command pon and I heard my modem begin dialing. I did this as root user. I then tried it as a regular user and the modem didn't dial when I entered pon. I then realized even if I do get hooked up I have no idea how to tell that the dial up was successful. I am suppose to have a mail program called mailx but I can't get it to come up. I have read the info page but don't see how to activate or load mailx. Dselect says it is installed. I looked at a ppp how to but it looks way too complicated for me right now. Does anyone have a clear description of how to hook up to the net and use a simple email program? Or where I could find this information?
Thanks, Kent
