Michael,
I dont understand why you say that the dialup stuff depends upon
the distribution. AFAIK all distributions provide both 'dip' (for SLIP and
PPP) and 'ppp' for PPP. Or am I missing something?
Regarding the HOWTO's about this topic, I believe the Serial-HOWTO
is one of the more important ones.
Regards,
Kenneth
PS. I dont know how good RedHat's PPP install is these days, but the
Debian PPP install was very painless.
There is no such thing as luck. 'Luck' is nothing but an absence of bad luck.
