Linux Free Dial Up Access ???


have broadband cable modem internet access. I just installed a fax modem. I have a dial up acount with NetZero. I downloaded a driver for the modem and configured KPPP to use it. The modem does dial out > but never get to the point to logon to NetZero. Internet Explorer is their default browser. I use Mozilla in Linux.

Does any one know if NetZero will work with Linux dial-up? If not are there any other free dial up ISP's that will work with Linux? I know this will work with Earthlink but I'm not going to pay for dial up access since I have Powerlink. This dial up is basically a backup > sending faxes and just to see if I can do this with Linux.

If NetZero does work > does anyne know the configuration parameters that are needed?

You might wanna actually contact NetZero, I'm sure that you aren't the only one that has tried with Linux, so they might have either a blanket NO answer, or something for you to try.

Another option might be to do some emulating, it would at least save you from having to reboot into winbloze...

Cool
