I just installed Redhat 5.1 on my machine. How do I set it up to connect to the internet via ppp? Is there a setup script and what are the commands to connect/diconnect

First of all , you must rebuild your kernel
with ppp options switched.Second step:
Build new devices - /dev/cua0 , you must
follow to /dev directory and entter following
command : ./MAKEDEV cua0 .
Change your directory to /etc/ppp/ and edit ppp.conf.
After you edit this file ,enter
# ppp -ddial (label in ppp.conf file )
If you'ill have any troubles in future , send
all messages to my e-mail !
Bye !
