Virtually all ISPs provide, at a minimum, instructions for establishing a PPP connection. Often these are geared toward specific GUI tools, but you can usually glean the required information: - Access number(s) - UserID format - Password format - DNS - Authentication protocol. ...if anything's changed recently, your ISP is the best source of information. If your ISP doesn't support GNU/Linux, consider switching to one which does. -- Karsten M. Self <kmself@ix.netcom.com> http://kmself.home.netcom.com/ What part of "Gestalt" don't you understand?
