| 112090 | 2003-01-09 04:15:00 | Try "man pppd" from the command line although Google is probably better (or the pppd howto) | Dolby Digital (160) | ||
| 112091 | 2003-01-09 04:17:00 | If its a gateway (ok you said it is), you could have a look at www.smoothwall.org I use it and its very good and I use a 486DX4-100 |

| 112092 | 2003-01-09 04:20:00 | I think there is a KPPP setup magician in the Control Centre of KDE, which is probably the default GUI. If you enter "PPP Linux" to the Search function on this page, you will find a fair amount of information. (The second one, gives a couple of links.) Have a look at the HOWTO documents, too. I take it your modem has been detected, and works. :D We've had siscussion on that too. ;-) |

| 112094 | 2003-01-09 07:44:00 | There is an option in "linuxconf" to configure/dial. You can also use "ifup ppp0". | bmason (508) | ||
