Linux and dial-up

Ok. Im running Linux on a machine and want it to be able to connect to the internet through dial-up. The problem is, i dont have a clue on how to do it. Ive looked around and really couldn't find out how. Could you all help me or post a link to a site that explains how? Thanks in advance.

What version of Linux are you using? Either way, look for a program called KPPP which will be under Internet in the KDE menu. That should help ya out

I would check for you modem on this list.

well specs on the modem and stuff would be nice. I however would recommend you get some sort of external 56k fax modem. Man mine worked great for ages... look into the brand Modem Blaster. they make good ones, thats why i used to run anyway and it was really reliable.

Cool, thanks

Oh, if you have a winmodem, try www.linmodem.org Its a great site with good links to sites where you can get the drivers you need for your modem to work. Worked just great with my Conexant Softmodem

Here's some links to good reading about Linux and modems and so on.
