how to get on line with linux caldera

Hi! If you use X windows I recommend you use KPPP dialer program. Connect your modem to any of your Serial port, fire up KPPP as a root user. ( To do this, run a shell on X windows, type 'su' without quotes, type in root user password, then type 'kppp' followed by enter.

Mandrake has a excellent tutorial on KPPP: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/KPPP/ which isn't mandrake specific but it will help you get some ideas.

For your modem configuration, it is either /dev/tty1 or /dev/tty2 or /dev/tty3.... keep trying until you find the right one by doing 'Query Modem' option in KPPP options.

If you don't use X, i recommend WVDIAL.

Also, make sure you don't run any extra services which you do not need, otherwise you might get rooted by some Luser :-D

Cheers :-D
