Not ideal but,
If you have access to the RH6.2 box, just copy over the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 and
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0
they will still work with the RH7 scripts.
Else you can create by hand. Between the "---" is the new format for the
ifcfg-pppX file:
-----------------------------------
DEVICE=ppp0
NAME=Telstra
WVDIALSECT=Telstra
MODEMPORT=/dev/ttyS1
LINESPEED=115200
PAPNAME=XXXXX
USERCTL=false
ONBOOT=yes
PERSIST=yes
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=no
DEMAND=no
IDLETIMEOUT=600
--------------------------------------
You'll have to hand edit /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
Between the "---" is the format for the paragraph in /etc/wvdial.conf
------------------------
[Dialer Telstra]
Username = XXXXXX
Password = XXXXX
Phone = XXXX
Inherits = Modem0
Stupid mode = 0
