Hi guys,
There is a self study cd that guides me on how to confingure my PC with a modem. In have a CDMA modem.The study cd tells me to got /usr/share/doc/script directory, configure my ppp-on script (telno, ip, netmask, username, passwd ). Then i should just they the ppp-on command on my computer and i will be able to use my modems but when i followed those instructions things failed. What should i do.

How about posting some useful information? We'll need more than "things failed"...how about some error messages? Version/distro of Linux? Where you got the 'study guide'? Make/model of the CDMA modem? ANYTHING you've tried??? |

The study guide that i use is CTB Nuggets for Comptia Linux+ certifications. I tried configuring my E325 CDMA modems as I was instructed when I typed ppp-on command it said unknown command and I tried to look for manual page of ppp-on. There was not manual page for that.

Still not saying version/distro of Linux, but based on the very vague error message, you don't have the ppp-on software loaded.
Hard to tell you how to install it, or where to look, without details. |

If you're using Ubuntu (and probably any Debian based distro), you might be looking for the command pon.
