If you've got Red Hat, then don't you also have KDE? KDE has KPPP, which
will get you connected in like 2 minutes. Try to install the Knetworking
utilities RPM, even if you are using GNOME. That way, since you're using
PAP (like me), you just enter your username and password in a
Dial-Up-Networking-looking window, make a few modem configuration
changes, and you're ready to go.

You don't have to use chat scripts in order to log on if your ISP uses
PAP, at least that's my experience. Just make sure that the drop-down
list where you can select PAP is selected. Don't worry about the tab
that deals with Scripts, which is where you'd put the expect-send pairs
for chatscripts. That's what I've got, and it works for me. Let me know
if you need more help.

I have tried using Kppp but I cant get that to work because my ISP doesnt
use chatscripts, and so it wont make the connection (same problem with
linuxconf and netcfg)

1. PPP setup question

First time caller, first time Linux user...

I recently downloaded and installed Debian 2.0 (stable) from the
internet.  Created the disks, installed the system, and everything boots
fine (including dualbooting from LILO).  PPP however, I am not having
luck with.  Linux (using PON) will dial my ISP, make the happy connect
noises, then log off after 10 seconds.  I assume it is simply the ISP
timing the system out for failing to log in.  I don't have any of the
Dselect packages installed (because I can't connect to my stinkin ISP).
I've read the Debian Installation guide a million times (give or take),
tried using PAP, CHAP, and login pppconfig scenarios, but all have the
same result.  I've even tried manually editing the chapsecrets,
papsecrets, and provider files as described.

If anyone can offer me suggestions, or point me towards the nearest
comprehensive linux PPP FAQ, I would greatly appreciate it.
