Ok, so I'm using the good old fashioned command line to try and
configure my dial-up connection since my XWindows won't work so I can
download the latest XFree. I *THINK* I configured ppp-on correctly.
My modem seems to connect and stays on for a while, but after a couple
of minutes if I don't do anything it hangs up. So what I need to know
is how I can see if it is actually logging in correctly, or just
hanging out waiting for a correct login? Once I run ppp-on, it just
goes back to the prompt while the modem dials out. Is it executing in
the backgrounnd? Is there a screen I can bring up to see if I am
connecting correctly? Also, where do I put the Primary and Secondary
DNS IP addresses so I can resolve names once I'm on? I thought I read
that it was in the /etc/resolv.conf, just trying to make sure. Again,
many thanks.
-Paul
