Internet access
OK, I ran pppconfig and after I was done I entered the command pon and I
heard my modem begin dialing. I did this as root user. I then tried it
as a regular user and the modem didn't dial when I entered pon. I then
realized even if I do get hooked up I have no idea how to tell that the
dial up was successful. I am suppose to have a mail program called
mailx but I can't get it to come up. I have read the info page but
don't see how to activate or load mailx. Dselect says it is installed.
I looked at a ppp how to but it looks way too complicated for me right
now. Does anyone have a clear description of how to hook up to the net
and use a simple email program? Or where I could find this information?
Thanks,
Kent
