I am new to Linux and would like to have your advice on solving my problem in setting up my dial up ppp connection to my ISP. I recently purchased Redhat 5.1 and installed it in my PC. The installation of the OS was vert smoothy and I did not encounter any problems. However on trying to log in to my ISP I have not been very successful after two weeks of experimenting. I can dial up my ISP and log in using minicom. I get a message from the ISP that a PPP session is being established. However after some time the connection drops off. Please let me know as to how I should proceed from this point.
