Red Hat 5.0 has a complex network configuration setup... I didn't
have time to look it over in detail, but think that someone who is
capable of understanding it and perhaps `stealing' some ideas from it
for Debian should do so. They have a `netcfg' program that's written
in python. It will help you edit the chat scripts and everything.
It took me very little effort to get a ppp link established using it.
The Debian ppp setup is simpler; editting the easy to find (?) chat
script was no more difficult, to me, than locating and running the
RH `netcfg' was.
I think the main thing is that a person with very little experience
should be led through the initial setup by a script, at the very
least. It would be good to tell them about `minicom', with some
instructions on how to use it to get the info they need to construct
a working chat script.
Has anyone created a document for this? And a page for the boot disk
telling of it, with simple instructions on how to begin reading.
