In fact, you need to set your device (usually /dev/modem) and use a program to dial using that modem, this will create the ppp0 interface for you, and also (most of them) will set is as the default route. Any server with dial-up has configurations, and that's what your ISP have in their script, you just find them out and put the same config at your dialer. Good luck. On 7/6/05, Grant wrote: > Hello!
