I posted an email a few weeks ago asking for help on setting up the ppp interface on RH7.0. It was at that time someone mentioned there were problems with ppp in this version of RH7.0. I'd like to share my solution even though it isn't a full fix.
What I basically do is setup my ISP connection using the Wvdial utility in GNOME. This configures my /etc/wvdial.conf file by giving it a name, the ioport to use, the ISP phone number, username and password. One parameter is set; Stupid Mode=0. I researched my connection and found this had to be turned on; Stupid Mode=1. I wanted my connection to redial if the connection is lost. This is accomplised by adding and additional parameter; Auto Reconnect=1. Now I activate my ISP connection at boot time and the modem will redial if the connection is lost. If anyone is interested in seeing a sample wvdial.conf file for a clearer idea of what I've done, just let me know.
