Re: [MLUG] COIN + Kinternet

[George Robb <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Hey Raymond-

Here are two links that seem to have some useful information:

http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Modem-Dialup-NT-HOWTO.html#ss2.1
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/PPP-HOWTO/

I am with you... I have been on brodband for so long now that I have not
configured a modem in a LONG time...   Let us know how it goes :)
