have to "/sbin/adsl-connect" to get online?


I remember that GNOME had a handy tool that got me online really quickly with my DSL intenet connection. I haven't found anything as useful on Red Hat 7.3 with only KDE installed as the wm. The closest thing I have found was the adsl-setup script in the /sbin directory, but then I have to type /sbin/adsl-connect every time I want to connect. How can I automate this? I have looked through my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and I understand now what it takes to make an item appear in the list of interfaces that are started when linux boots, however, I do not know what really belongs in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 file. Can someone help me out? Maybe if you're one of the lucky people whose DSL is on all the time and starts automatically at boot, you could tell me what's in your ifcfg-ppp0 file? I could be on the wrong track, but at least I tried to help myself before I asked someone else.
