take a closer look at the ppp files
- watch for all the options...know what it does/means...
( do NOT copy the optiosn files from examples -- it might not work
- for me.... the order of "CONNECT" string was important.... for caling into
redhat-6.x ppp servers
use minicom or seyon to verify you can login as a user and a PPPuser
- if the server dos not answer your minicom calls.... ppp won't work either...
( you'd need to fix /etc/inittab and the modem init strings )
than use your kppp or ppp-on or other ppp scripts
have fun
