Hi,
My dialup problem is solved, I want to recap in case anybody out there
has the same problem.
First, KDE's dialup utility KPPP was set up for modem on ttyS0 through
ttyS3. My system has it on ttyS4. The thing to do was to line
/dev/modem to ttyS4 with the command
ln /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
S
Actually, I have a better question.
Since the route command shows me that eth0 is the default, and I know
I have no internet off of that, how can I set up my lan configuration
so that eth0 never gets the default route status, this should free up
the dialing dialog to take over that status, right?
OK, I finally got a webpage after dialing in.
I tried this command off a webpage
route add default ppp0
and things began to work. Apparantly the default is eth0, my ethernet
card. This card is not connected to a LAN, it just came with the
compter and there it sits.
Now, how can I make it so t

Well, I gotta sleep, I just wish I could figure out why I cant resolve
a hostname, like www.google.com

Well, I managed to get the root user to query the modem. kppp started
to work once I issued
ln -f /dev/ttyS4 /dev/modem
But I would rather not have to log on the internet as a root user. It
wont go from my regular user account. I did use kuser to add to ip
and dialout. kppp just gives me "una

Install gpppon. It's essentially a GUI front-end for pon and poff.

Elmwood,
I have been working along these lines, but I am thinking of another
