[linux-help] Re: Kppp and add printer for RH 7.1

[gLaNDix <glandix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There used to be some documentation on the aclug.org page (iirc) for
connecting via pppd to a dial-up ISP...  it's not all that hard, and (from
my experience) it seemed to be more reliable than KPPP...  there also used
to be some documentation on southwind's webpage, but after all the changes,
it may very well be gone...  i'd suggest looking into info on pppd (i'm
sure there are some good docs in the HOWTO's...  

run 'control-panel' and in there there should be a button for the print
tool...  or, i *think* the command to get directly to the printer setup is
'printtool' or 'print-tool'...  but it's been quite a while since i've
worked on RH ...
