| 30881 | 2002-01-12 04:46:00 | I have configured linux to use my modem and I can dial up using the cho command and minicom. When I try to dial my ISP, it dials, talks and then just sits there untill it times out. I am running Redhat linux 5.0 | Guest (0) | ||
| 30882 | 2002-01-12 09:06:00 | Suggest you update your distribution - RedHat 7.0 or later allows setup to your ISP via a simple GUI wizard - in my experience works first time consistently! | Guest (0) | ||
| 30883 | 2002-01-12 09:06:00 | Isn't Minicom just a terminal? This will allow you to handshake with your ISP, but not establish a PPP connection. What window manager are you using? You should be able to use gnome-ppp or KPPP to set up your Internet connection. |
