Setting up 56k Slackware 9.1


I have been learning and getting used to linux, no gui, slackware. And can pretty much say I have the basics down, and some good base of knowledge. I was wondering, though, if someone could help me out with setting up a external 56k modem connection with my linux? Thanks for the possible help.

basically you can use at root #pppsetup to setup a dialup connection, then read reversely the files /etc/ppp/options /etc/ppp/pap-secrets /etc/ppp/pppscripts
either: you can manually create and edit those files. futher, /usr/sbin/ppp-go and ppp-off is to call a dialup.
if you wanna enable all acct. dialup, then chmod the above files and ppp-go, ppp-off and pppd in /sbin/pppd (or /usr/sbin/pppd)
