Dear Sir /Madame , I am a newbie at redhat linux . I want to connect to my isp using minicom. I am using redhat 4.2 . When I read the minicom howto , it talks about loading ppp dameon (pppd) through the minicom software and unloading too after finishing . I have compiled my ppp into my kernel , so there is no pppd now but intregated into my kernel . So how do I load ppp that is intregated into my kernel from minicom.I am using chap autentication i.e. after I dial , I give my username , password then type ppp. I get funny charaters , so I know that ppp got started in the server end . Now how do I start ppp in my end too. Help me if you could . I will be very greatful for your help . -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
