Hi d Thanks for reply - it's good to know that there is (somewhere) the possibility of a dial up :-) I'm doing something wrong - obviously. If I can say this in a whisper - what is the "kppp" and where can I find it? See how new I am ! I'm in win98 at moment so can't look yet. Cheers (and regards to Mr Bush) Dave S. After I learn how to install Linux I will be able to Learn Linux and after I learn Linux I will be able to learn how to install Linux. ----- Original Message ----- From: "d" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2001 1:03 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] Dialup Connection > LURKER here, I have just a regular dialup connection and when I clicked on > the "kppp" and the box appears there was a button called "SetUp" and that > is all I used.
