Still trying to figure out dialing into my ISP (Qwest). Here's the configurations on some files (with errors at the end): /etc/ppp/pppscript: TIMEOUT 60 ABORT ERROR ABORT BUSY ABORT "NO CARRIER" ABORT "NO DIALTONE" "" "AT&FH0" OK "atdt<phone number>" TIMEOUT 75 CONNECT /etc/ppp/options: lock defaultroute noipdefault modem /dev/ttyS0 230400 crtscts #Uncomment the line below for more verbose error reporting: # debug # If you have a default route already, pppd may require the other side # to authenticate itself, which most ISP's will not do. To work around this, # uncomment the line below. Note that this may have negative side effects # On system security if you allow PPP dialins.
