[ale] dial-up set-up

[Chris Kilroy]

KDE doesn't need to be running, but X does.  Now you can actually run 
some X programs in terminal mode, but i don't know how to do it off the 
top of my head.  But "Essential UNIX System Admin" from O'Reilly does 
tell you how.

my advice mayt not have been that good considering your ultimate plans

i was actually about to try to set up a dial-on demand 'router' at home, 
so i haven't actually tried what you are doing.  i mistakenly interpreted 
your email(i was thinking of something else and thought i understood your 
question better) as  more of a generic ISP connection issue.  More of a 
generic "i can't get PPPd to do what i want"-issue.

Sorry for the misinfo!

take it easy
