Re: [TCLUG:15064] NEWBIE QUESTIONS

not being a redhat expert, and not having used a modem for ISP stuff for a
few years.. I might be totaly off on this.

hrm.. I'm trying to think of the standard place to do dialup info.. I'm
betting it's in linuxconf.. load up linuxconf, and browse the config
section for networking.. there should be a whole bunch of PPP stuff in
there

the C stuff I can help you with.. all you need to do is work with gcc/g++
you write your code in <insert editor flamewar here> and then run the
compiler on that file.. "gcc -o test test.c"
this will compile and produce a binary called test. which you can run from
wherever you put the .c file. "./test"

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)

I found the modem location which was not a problem and I have the IP information and dialup information but was having problems getting that setup.   I was able to put in the dialup phone number on my own though....
