Re: Newbie question : gnome, bash, and ppp

Actually, I did both, i.e. adding the non-root user to both 'dialout' and 
'dip'.  The problem is still there.  Could it be that I should not add the 
non-root user to the group manually and I should do it thru pppconfig 
instead?  I couldn't test it out now as I'm using a windowz machine.
