[ale] RH7 ppp broken?

[Lathe]

What happens when you do it "The old Fashioned way" by stating on the
command line:  ifup ppp0  ?  I played with some of the gnome dialup stuff
under 6.1 and 6.2 and it just acted kinda flaky for me.  So I opted to stick
with some more tradtional means within a GUI, i.e. netcfg to control all
network / ppp / slip interfaces.  This worked great as it's only a front end
for the scripts under linux.  But I wont tell you what you "should" use.
Just that it didnt work well for me.

Try the ifup aspect and see if it correctly works.  If not, I'd be curious
what the scripts are reflecting for bringing up the interface.

Hi,

I've just upgraded from RH6.1 to RH7 (the
dist given out a recent trade show).  Since
I didn't have too much already on the 6.1
install, I just did a complete reformat/install
of RH7.  Now when I use the Gnome PPP config tool and
dialer I get errors that rp3 failed to activate
the interface.  I am unable to dial out.
(I had no trouble under RH 6.1).
I can run wvdial and it will dial out and appears
to connect, but I am unable to get Netscape
to go a site (maybe a DNS issue here?).
Anyone got PPP working on RedHat 7?
(RH is running on a home computer w/ 56K modem).

Thanks in advance,
Roggie Boone
