I am sending a longish mail regarding setting up an external modem
that I have not been able to setup
I tried three options
wvdialconf
pppconfig
and the GUI network interface
am putting down all the details I managed to glean of the machine
(that I could manage) because the settings maybe wrong but now what I
cannot get to the internet.
