/etc/resolv.conf ... It should look something like this
search localhost
domain localhost
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search your.isp.name
domain your.isp.name
nameserver NNN.NN.NN.NN
nameserver NNN.NN.NN.NN

Yes, by itself it will work, but if you have .Xresources
and .Xmodmap defined, those will not be picked up. AFAIK
there is some utility in RH to swap WMs (? switch-desk),
it is better to use that.
If .Xresources and .Xmodmap has been defined, and you
want to use that, make your .xinitrc into a shell script
as follows and make it executable.
------------<snip>---------------
#!/bin/sh
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
# Fix your backspace and delete keys
xmodmap -e 'keycode 22 = BackSpace'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 107 = Delete'
# And then start kde
startkde

There are no commands ... WMs are usually fired through
.xinitrc. Changing startkde to fvwm2 or icewm should do
the trick. However, if RH has an utility for switching
WMs (IIRC, switch-desk) use it. System resources and
keymaps would be incorporated.

In kppp, there is a setup option in modem sub-menu in
which it is to be typed. In wvdial, type it as Init2 in
/etc/wvdial.conf.
