I think you are trying to get too many things working at once. PPP, Apache,
sendmail, and CGI forms are each non-trivial things. I think PPP is the
easiest of them all given the good PPP software and configuration tools
available (though with a few bugs) in RedHat Linux. I hope you are using
Linuxconf to do your setup. Once you get the right information setup for
your ISP, PPP should spring right to life. The RedHat manual is pretty good
for basic setup steps.
I would suggest that you first get basic PPP working so your machine
establishes a solid connection that you can use to ping, telnet, and maybe
connect to Web servers. The folks on this list should be able to help you
get that working quickly. Then tackle sendmail, Apache, etc. Note; I found
Apache to be fairly tricky to setup especially with the permissions that
you must define before you can use it.
