Re: Trying to setup PPP over ISDN

["W Guy Finley" <wgfinley@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Matt,

I too have an Eicon Diva T-A external ISDN modem.  If you have an internal
you may have a long road to hoe.  But, if it's external, you shouldn't have
a problem.

Look for a script called "PPPSETUP" (I'm pretty sure I've seen it in the
Linux section on Tucows before).  This worked flawlessly for me.

Good luck and if you can't find it let me know and I look deep in the bowels
of my Linux partition and try to find it.
