Connecting to an ISP over a MODEM under Linux

[tony j. podrasky]

Hi Folks;

All my web access has been on a T-3 link at
HP. Now I need to be able to do e-mail and
web access from home.

I've talk with the people at NETZERO
and although they didn't know anything
about Linux, they were able to give me
the hostname/IP of their mail server.

How do you do webbing? Do you just put
the hostname/IP of their proxy host in
the configuration file and away you go?

Is there a MANPAGE or INFO I can look at?

regards,
tonyp

Hi tonyp,

If you need to setup a dial up link easy just try to install and configure KPPP. Its a KDE GUI tool which let you configure your internet dialup link as you where used to on a Windo$ system.

HTH,

What hardware do you use? Not every modem can be used with Linux.

KPPP is the way to go.

The MANPAGE makes your head spin
with all the options!

Thanx for the replies.
