Bowen & List, I too had trouble with this. I assume you're trying to get through by the normal Red Hat dial up menu.
This is my temporary fix til I can find a more automated way of doing it: Open a Terminal. Type kppp. [You'll be prompted for root.] I get a funny error message on mine but a little connect box pops up, I press connect & Bobs me uncle. Life's hard being a newbie. ;-) Hope that helps. Regards, Dale.
