Part 4.)So now I'm working my way the the SuSE book and the PPP HOWTO, and I get as far as conencting to my ISP using minicom, then quitting and launching PPPD. I had set up YAST with what I thought were the correct parameters. I also opened a term window and did a trail -f /var/log/messages, and here is what happened.

IPX is a type of Novell networking protocol. I dont understand how that got in there. You can do 1 of 2 things just get wvdial and use that. Its the prefered "easy" method to establish ppp or you can post your generic.options file and generic.chat that are both found in /etc/suseppp how do you dial up now? minicom... and then activate pppd?? or /etc/suseppp/scripts/ppp-up generic ---->? that should get you there with some basic finetuning of the 2 generic files created via yast If you're interested in wvdial the readme is here and you can get their site from that page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/WvDial.htm have fun! rob Bookmarks <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm "The ability of the OSS process to collect and harness the collective IQ of thousands of individuals across the Internet is simply amazing.
