Re: [aclug-L] help on PPP

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Now this is something I know too much about (running PPP from the
command line).

You can find detailed instructions for SouthWind at:

http://www2.southwind.net/~jgoerzen

or:

http://www.aclug.org/ispconn/

Just a warning: RH's graphical tools don't get along well with the
command-line mode, so please use one or the other but not both.
