I just did a test install using the 1.3 official disk (from lsl). I took some notes of exactly what was needed for me to set ppp up: 1) edit /etc/ppp.chatscript and /etc/ppp.options_out, pretty straight forward using the comments in chatscript, never had to change the options. 2) chgrp and chmod ppp.chatscript and ppp.options_out so it is readable by members of group dip. 3) add appropriate users to the dip group (/etc/group) 4) set up the dns in /etc/resolv.conf (or say you are connected to a network during the installation process, it will prompt for this). 5) make a link from /dev/modem to the appropriate /dev/ttyS? All done, use pon / poff to start and stop the ppp connection (or you could use diald I guess, never used it myself). Is there a step by step in the install notes like this?
