Yes, but I will put in a warning about the incredible SLOWNESS of this procedure. A basic ppp is installed with the current bo disks - just do the disk-based install to the point where you've set the root password, etc., and are about to be dumped into dselect. Then switch to another console (alt-F2), log in as root, and get your ppp setup working - often, this is just a matter of editing /etc/ppp.chatscript to suit your ISP and typing 'pon'. (You may need to edit /etc/ppp.options_out as well) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
