You can do it all through DrakConnect (in the Control Center). For PPP connections, the default is Kppp, though personally I like wvdial. If you can get it to work with your ISP, you can set it to log in on boot, and it will automatically reconnect if the connection goes down. Of course if you're on a pay-per-minute service, you _don't_ want this!I'm giving one of my boxes to my sister who lives 200 miles from here.
I want to leave 9.2 up with a VMware win2k.
I have all working except that she will use a dial up connection. It has been part of my lan/broadband connection.
Bottom line....How do I off the lan connect and configure her modem before I send her the box?
I've not had a modem connect for several years and it appears things have changed somewhat.
A while ago, I decided to make my computer wife-friendly. Thanks to wvdial, all she has to do is switch it on, and she's online, with Mozilla opening to a home page I wrote (in Turkish!) telling her how to do everything else. When I eventually get my new computer, I'll put in links so that, for example, she can open an OpenOffice document from the home page, making it a kind of stripped-down desktop environment.
