I'm in over my head with your instructions. I apologize for my ignorance.
#2 - I did the sudo adduser ***** dip thing, so I assume I'm in dip. Correct? I don't know where to look to find out for sure... #3 - just "sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf" and delete everything in the file, correct? #4 and #4a - If I do have those files, what would be the commands to delete them? Or can I open them with sudo gedit and just delete the contents? #5 - Start gnome-ppp from command line? How do I do that? I've been dinking with Linux for several years, and I'm still horribly unfamiliar with root/user/ etc. In other words, if you could please take the time to tell me what I have to enter, I can parrot someone else's commands. But I'm not good at figuring out from scratch what to do... #6 - You're suggesting going straight to Gnome-ppp? We skip pppconfig and wvdial? I'm cool with that, just want to make sure... I'll fire the Karmic PC back up and see how much of your instructions I can muddle thru on my own.
