I've just recently installed Red Hat 5.0 on a system and am trying to
connect to IBM's Internet Connection service. However the script they have
available for PPP & SLIP seem to have a few glitch's in them. The scripts
can be found at:
http://www.ibm.net/hlpctr/html/slip_slip-linux.html
http://www.ibm.net/hlpctr/html/ppp_pppscripts.html
I'm using a standard USR Sporster 28.8 modem.
If anyone has any experience with the IBM service please let me know.
Thanks,
Darcy

Hello and thanks for the reply.
The main problem with the IBM PPP script is the use of the "+ua" option
which isn't recognized when the ppp-on command is invoked. The modem can
dial out no problem (dial tone, handshake, etc.) using SLIP but the
connection just hangs or the system refuses to connect. I was hoping PPP
would be a better option. Also I've check each file multiple times and am
pretty sure all is well with them. So if you wouldn't mind sending me your
script, minus password etc, I could compare and see if something else is the
problem.
Thanks in advance,
Darcy O'Neil

1. Red Hat 5.0 vs. Red Hat 5.1
Hello everybody - what a beautiful day it is! Let's not get to funked
up, and get yourself a nice little pink flower to put in a orange vase.
Then grab yourself a slice and sit down and enjoy yourself. It can be
done in lot's of different ways -- just go ahead and do it under the
green sun.
Well... Nevermind.
I'm planning to buy Red Hat 5.1 official to replace my Red Hat 5.0 with.
But before I do that I wonder if there are any disadvantages, hazards or
such with RH 5.1, compared to RH 5.0. Is the installation as safe (don't
forget LILO), and things such as X, sound-support, printers and ppp -
are they still well supported, and not buggy or so?
Thanks in advance,
/Henrik
By the way, don't let the opening of this letter make you think that I'm
not serious enough.
