Very Computer

                I spent some minutes to setup the dialer scripts... and
since friday I'm stucked in the same point:
                The modem dial to the IPS, I get the answer, send
username, passw, etc and at the end of connection .. where I have to
receive the confirmation of IP ... the program stops without
connection... I know I'm on the "edge of the connection"... but I
couldn't figure it out..
my resolv.conf is:

search *ia.edu (my provider)
nameserver 128.143.2.7
nameserver 128.143.22.19

Actually I'm using slackware and I have the netconfig, which allows me
to easily config these files... It should be working...

my questions:
1) what do I have to have in the route table?
    My feeling says that the problem is here... I follow the
instructions from
http://www.veryComputer.com/
that my system was set for eth0 (and I don't have ethernet card... btw
how can I change these configurations ?? Is that in rc.inet1???)..
anyway...  I set the router for ppp0 manually and what I noticed and it
still do not working...
2) Is there some other files to config ??
    a) Dialin script
    b)options
    c) resolv.conf
    d)??
                Any help is welcome!!!!

                            Thank you
