Post by Adam » Sun, 16 Jan 2000 04:00:00



is there a way to get rid of those * startup proggies as soon as you log
in...i think its the redhathat help browser, and midnight commander that
start first...
also how do i dialup to freeserve...i found a diaup program in the
menu's...i set that up but i get errors connecting...in windoze the diamond
56k modem is on com3, but i tried that for linux and it doesnt appear to
agree with me?
how can i tell what port its on...
there is a modem in the dialup bit..when i click delete, then close it, it
magically re-appears again..is there a way to reconfigure the settings i
chose when it first detected the modem?
or could someone tell me the steps to setting up an internet connection..the
only thing i think i will need is the DNS of freeserve..i have my login info
and telephone number already

thanx for listening to my ramblings, but i cant find any info in the help
screens.

Hello
try reading some HOWTO's and searching on RH web site.
First to configure network you need to run linuxconf (as root, to be root
type su -l) there go to PPP and set your connection stuff (telephone, DNS
etc.) then goto Modem and set your modem (if you know it's Com3 then it
wouldnt be very hard).
Hope this helps
