If you're using a dialup modem, your connection should be one of the tty's (serial ports).
"sudo su" is about the same as logging in as root, so be careful, but to try to find a recently-changed config file:
cd (same as cd ~)
ls -lArt (view all files, long listing, reverse-by-time so the most-recent are at the bottom)
look for "dotfiles" as they're known, files that being with "." (period) or files in directories beginning with .
like maybe
.peng
or
.peng/config
(which I assume would be in /root/)
hope this helps,
Ben
PS - I see peng is an alternative to pppd, this doc found via google is not new but indicates that peng likes to use the "tun0" device, so my reference to tty might depend on whether you're talking about how the dialup occurs, or how general connectivity happens after the dialup is establshed... or maybe this doc is totally out of date: http://www-jerry.oit.duke.edu/linux/HOWTO/how_to_use_peng_instead_of_ppp_in_linux_dialup_router.html
Sorry I'm out of the loop on this. Most programs don't edit their own config files, though, unless you use a "wizard" sort of thing, or edit preferences in the program.

Well it works...kinda. I can start it up by doing a sudo su, but it can't seem to find the modem. Is there a way I can edit it, or get it to redetect for an available connection (eth0, tty, isdn)? When we had it running in the CRRC building, it was connecting via an ethernet connection, whereas now all I have is a 56k modem. Could it have editted some file or could we have editted some file that tells Peng what kind of internet connection is available? What would it look like and how do I find, and edit it?-E
