I do have a Supra and _was_ planning to attach it to the DEC/Alpha with
RH 3.0.3... but I'm now wondering if that's a good idea. What is so
problematic about the Supra modem? I'd say you do the following changes
(haven't tried this yet):

1) /etc/resolv.conf
	make an entry:  nameserver  xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
2) ln -s /dev/cua0 /dev/modem
3) make a script called ppp.dip or something and get dip ready to make
that one work.

But as I said, I only know how it works with a pcmcia modem (on my P100
laptop). The Supra thing is completely new to me...

Maurice.


PS. If you need a help on the script, the ppp.dip in /etc dir, then I'll
be happy to post it...
