isdn, kisdn and ipppd

[Avi Dardik]

Hi all, well, I just installed RH 6.1 on to my computer. Everything works great, I even mounted my Win98 to the system, and it's perfect. BUT, I can't seem to be able to use my AVM Fritz! PCI ISDN card! I read a few dozen disccusions on alt.linux, and figured that getting kisdn is the ticket, simply install RPM and run. No compile, no kernel mojo.. nothing.. REMEMBER, I'm a total newbie! Anyhow, I downloaded kisdn and installed the RPM. It detected my Fritz and I was happy. BUT, nothing worked!  Afterr i configured my card and ISP and tried to dial.. NOTHING happens!   Not a movement of one pixel on the KISDN screen, no error message nothing..! First question, am I right by assuming that after a fresh RH6.1 install, installing kisdn will do everything or am i missing out on something...? Ok.. next i try and play around trying to figure out what's wrong.. Guess what..?  There's NO ipppd file on my system! 2nd Q: can this be..?! Well.. fumbling in the dark, I downloaded isdn4k-utils-1999-10-20.tar.gz from AVM's site.. and.. and.. I don't have a clue of what to do now.. Since it's no RPM, i'm clueless! Anyhow, PLEASE help me out, explain to me as PLAINLY as possible what I can do now.. Again, I'm a Linux NEWBIE!!!   ;) Thanks a lot people!     -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=TRiPPy=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Avi Dardik                      -Israel  ICQ: 1057189 [EMAIL PROTECTED]          http://start.at/d-day -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [PaPa!SMuRF]
