Howdy,
I was in your shoes just a few weeks ago, believe meI can identify...
If you are running RedHat 4.0 then you can do a find for ppp-on with
find / -name "ppp-on" -print
you should find a directory with ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer in it
[on my machine it is /usr/doc/ppp-2.2.0f-2/scripts/]
I copied these files to my /usr/local/bin directory
I then edited the ppp-on script
I changed the username and password to the appropriate values
like this:
ACCOUNT=Pusername
PASSWORD=password
I also changed the line for the DIALER_SCRIPT to:
DIALER_SCRIPT=/usr/local/bin/ppp-on-dialer
I was then able to type ppp-on and the script did the rest
BE SURE THAT YOU have your /etc/resolv.conf setup or it wont find your ISP
mine looks like this
search cloudnet.com
nameserver 199.199.220.2
nameserver 199.199.220.5
nameserver 199.199.220.10
That should be it...
Hope this helps !!!
Cheers,
Mark
