I went through a similar task of getting ppp to work with suse. Being fairly new to linux myself, I found it a rather pleasant challenge (pleasant when i finally go the thing to work). Compiling the kernel was only about a quarter of my struggle with it. Getting connected to my isp was the other three quarters. Once I figured it out though, it seemed amazingly easy...thank god for nice thick UNIX/LINUX manuals =) Karl M. -- To get out of this list, please send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ and the archive at http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html
