And unless you have a pretty fast system, you take a big performance hit
too. What a rip-off.

Maybe stupid today, but when modems were expensive, it made it possible for
people to have a high-speed modem at low cost.

Type 'pon' (as root), and note what your modem does. Then type 'plog' and
post the output. We also need to know what sort of modem you have and what
port it is on.

luck with, diald i got to work without errors but when i try to BitchX

You probably made mistake configuring your nameservers.
Check /etc/resolv.conf, it should look like this:
search
nameserver 216.88.77.7
nameserver 216.88.76.6
Assuming that ev1.net is your dialup ISP.

What do you mean when you say you had no luck with pppconfig? Exactly what
did you do and exactly what happened?
