Re: gnome-ppp

[jason whizzird net]

have you tried other ppp methods?

try this:
Setup a console PPP dialer.

cp /usr/doc/ppp-*/scripts/* /etc/ppp/ 
chmod +x /etc/ppp/ppp-o* 
Add your account info to the framework in /etc/ppp/ppp-on 

Add your DNS server IP's to /etc/resolv.conf like so:
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 

ln -s /dev/cuaX /dev/modem, where X is one less than the comport of
your modem. 

run (or sym-link) /etc/ppp/ppp-on (this only works as root) to connect and
/etc/ppp/ppp-off to disconnect. if this doesn't work make sure ppp is compiled
into your kernel (or loaded as a module).
