Very Computer

My telephone line does not receive a dial tone immediately. In Windows 95
there is an option to not check for dialtone.  I also put some commas in my
phone number to wait a few seconds before dialing.  Everything works fine.

How the hell do I do this in Llinux? Every time Kpppd goes to dial out it
returns a "No Dialtone error!".

Have I finally found a feature in Windows that Linux doesn't have?

Stede.

I was running kde 1.1.1. or  the latest one, and there was a option for
dialtone. I downloaded it at FTP site under redhat 6.0 updates and then
did a rmp * install went nicely. and im not even close to a god! I have
been playing with linux for 2 weeks now. Im going with Calidra 2.2 its
teaming up with KDE  REd hat looks to be pushing gnome.
