Re: [TCLUG:9073] resolving DNS on RH6

["Song Chen" <chensong@worldnet.att.net>]

I have being using worldnet.att.net on Linux for th elast one year.
Detailed instructions can be found at the "Linux Dialer" on WURD.

http://www.wurd.com/wurd/software/dialers/linux_kppp.htm

It was easy to setup the connection and using Netscape before the crash.
Now if only I can find out why it does not work after re-install RH6.0. -:(
