Help with PPP/Linux
| 
Mar 5 10:24 UTC 1994 |
Hey, all, I'm running Linux now at home (hope to phase out my DOS partition,
or at least scale it down), but I can't get PPP to work with it.
I have managed to use dip to get a connection, but haven't gotten any
farther. I also haven't run across any coherent (pardon the pun)
documentation.
Is anyone useing this successfully? Here's what I've got:
Slackware (zooed) hot off sunsite.unc.edu last week.
Thanx for attention!

I also just downloaded the latest slackware, and at some point will
want to use PPP, so I'd also be interested in answers (or will
supply them if I figure things out for myself...).

I just posted to the help newsgroup, will forward anything useful to you.
I do know that you have to move a couple files into your linux source
directory, recompile your kernal, and compile pppd. That's all in /usr/src/*.
Also, there's a new dip version that has ppp support built in.
So it should be plug an play.
Growwwwwllll.

BTW, will I be notified if responces come in, or do I have to hunt?
(I am using tin, this is my first night of usenet.)

Unless somebody mails the responses to you (it has happened to me before,
I think mostly by people who don't have posting access), you will have to
keep reading the newsgroup to see the responses. I've never used tin, so I
don't know what it's like, but in trn you can just keep watching for that
thread, so you won't have to hunt too hard.

*Some* people only post if they think it's of general interest. Admittedly
those people seem to be very few these days.

Tin is a very nice little program. It will automatically pull all the
threads of an article together for you to read.
Does a lot more, but I am sure that you wil find this out for yourself as
you go along.
Good Luck!
