Setting up PPP on Linux

[Sir Hoagy <hoagy@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greets -

    Saw the flyer at the computer show Sunday.  Couldn't make the

meeting this past Tuesday, though I desperately wanted to be
there.

    I've an old 50 MHz Packard-Bell that I installed RedHat Linux

5.0 last week.  I purchased a 14.4 modem from the computer show
and for some reason, after saving the values in the modem's
register,
I can no longer get dialout to function (I believe I really
screwed
setserial and all that jazz).

    I have a permanent net connection in my apartment (57.6k
speed,
and *only* at that speed).  I'd like to set up the system for
57.6k
but don't know what I'd have to go through.  I'm an old UNIX
man (System III on an Altos 68000), so getting PPP running on
a PC (running a UNIX clone no less!) is very new to me.

    If anyone would be willing/able to assist me, I'd greatly
appreciate
it.  Send all email : hoagy@netmeg.org or feel free to jingle
387-7830 (Matt).

    Looking forward to the Saturday meeting!
