okay - I have been using SuSE for a while.At first, i couldn't get online because i had a dreaded winmodem. I have followed advice to edit the following files: 1) i removed the lock from /ppp/options 2) i have the nameserver and the name of the isp in resolv.config 3) wvdial has the appropriate info 4) suseppp has the appropriate info 5) kppp has the appropriate info I am connecting; the pppd daemon seems to drop dead; i cannot get a browser or a mailer to realize that i am, in fact, connected to the beloved remote host. And then there's the small matter of how to get lynx up in the terminal whilst wvdial is running... Could somebody please tell me what in hell i might have overlooked/screwed up/ or otherwise mishandled?
