Got two error messages: I can't offer any helpful suggestions. I would like to confirm that Fedora 11 isn't fully supporting dial up. Does anyone know for sure? I have several old machines that I would like to use Fedora on but I will need dial-up support as well. Can anyone confirm this, or suggest a current Linux distro that does fully support dial-up connections?Install wvdial and dialup should work, also kppp might need to be run as root, as it needs to modify ip addresses and add routes to the system.Phill
I use KPPP as a non root user. I did have to add "GATEWAYDEV=ppp0" to the file /etc/sysconfig/network and nameservers to the /etc/resolv.conf file.
