Anyway, for some reason I can't get a working ppp connection to the internet going. I tried manually editing: /etc/resolv.conf /etc/ppp/options /etc/ppp/chatscript and when I typed pppd nothing happened. I know for sure my modem is on /dev/ttyS1. I've looked around linuxconf in Red Hat 7.2 and no longer can find the ppp setup stuff. Any directions, suggestions, or help? Another thing I have tried is wvdial, and it would dial fine, but then once it hooked up it would loose the connection. Could someone send me a step by step directions on how they got pppd working under Red Hat 7.2? If it is easier I'd be willing to work over the phone if it is easier.
