I am a bit sick of all these ppp connect complaints - all of them appear
to be config related.
Do me a favour - try this:
1. Run
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
Once your modem is detected, edit /etc/wvdial.conf and add your ISP phone
number, userid and password in the obvious places (remove the ; from the
beginning of the lines).
2. Run
wvdial
And see if it connects.
If it does, hit ctrl-Z and run "bg" to background it.
All this to be done as root.
If it consistently refuses to connect, add
noauth
to /etc/ppp/options
and try again.
To disconnect, run
killall -HUP wvdial
wvdial is the proggy that does the real work for the gooey rp3 (RHL 6.1's
"Dialup Networking" clone). Every RHL 6.1 system should have wvdial
installed by default. If not, pop in the PCQ CD, mount it, and run
rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/wvdial*.rpm
