If wanting an internet connection established, pppd is the route to
follow. Turning on debug options should help you get farther down the
road.
Do read [url]http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html[/url]
You will have to provide your best working attempt for anyone to help
you. Do munge/change account name and passwords in your responses.
I have seen lots of pppd questions answered in other newsgroups
so you may want to use [url]http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search[/url]
so search for error messages you get from your attempts.

What makes you believe people were running Windows prior to Mandriva 2007?
Wishful thinking perhaps?

When Intel devised the 8086, I can assure you that they had no specific OS
in mind. And besides, UNIX has already been around since 1969, while
Windows was only first conceived - as an originally very poor GUI running
on top of MS-DOS - in the mid-to-late 1980's.
UNIX has always been more modern than anything Microsoft has ever come up
with - excluding their own proprietary XENIX, which they licensed off of
SCO and which was also a UNIX system - and GNU/Linux is a UNIX-like
operating system.
By the way, Sun's UltraSPARC workstations run Solaris, DEC's Alpha-based
workstations ran DEC Unix, SGI's MIPS-based workstations and servers run
IRIX, IBM's PPC-based systems run AIX, Hewlett Packard's PaRISC systems run
HP/UX, and Apple's OS-X is based upon FreeBSD.
So now you know what a serious operating system looks like, and it's not
anything like Windows. ;-)

we had sun ultra-sparcs where i worked before. everything beowolf'd,
used to control imaging from MRI scanners. the real-time video of
someones insides became a possibility with these, although prior
experiments using apple-macs were pretty good too.
anyhow, it's a time thing, not a knowledge thing...

I think it's *wvdial* - I'm going to have to find out later today myself!

How about you just bugger off and leave, you ignorant ****ing Win-troll.
If you like windoze better, go use it.
Get lost doofus.

Dan, dan, why waste effort in a response.
Extract header and text body, give a Netiquette violation reason for
the report and send it to [email]news@individual.net[/email]
We have see the results of just plonking our current troll.
Let's all try something different.

It's good that Dan has a proper target again. Sick 'em boy!
Have y'all noticed who _isn't_ posting during this nutjob's spate of
clutter? Hmmm... my guess is paranoia will cause him to chime in,
"Not me!" even though he hasn't been named and was very active recently
until newtroll appeared. I think this troll is just that other troll
but on meds. ;-)

It would be more constuctive to report abusive behaviour
and save Mandriva/Mandrake newsgroup from the trolls.

Assuming the ISP gives a hoot...
Isn't "individual.net" one of those who is known not to care?

I do not know.
We will not find out until we keep their email box running full with
each violation.

What happens? Does the computer catch on fire or somethin'?
[url]http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html[/url]
[url]http://www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html[/url]
That page will lead you through writing a script. For the average ISP, the
script will look something like:
[compton ~]$ cat /usr/local/bin/dialin
#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/sbin/pppd connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f /etc/ppp/dialscript" lock \
defaultroute noipdefault nodetach /dev/modem 115200 crtscts user cmarvel
[compton ~]$
There must not be anything after the \ in that line.
[compton ~]$ cat /etc/ppp/dialscript
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' "" AT&F1 OK ATDT2662902 CONNECT \d\c
[compton ~]$
That modem init string is for a US Robotics - nearly all others use
AT&F0. Some claim that ATZ is acceptable, but that depends on what you
had previously stored in NVRAM, and is not a reliable situation.
In addition to these two scripts, you will need to set your username
and password in the file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets (/etc/ppp/chap-secrets may
be used instead - create both) in the form
cmarvel * p42Sw0rD~
Those secrets files should be chmod 600 (-rw-------) and owned by root.
You _may_ want to make /usr/sbin/pppd SUID (chmod 4755) if you want an
ordinary user to run the command. You will also need to set the DNS
nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf to those of your ISP. But the results
are a bit smaller than the windoze wannabe crap like wvdial.
And of course, all of this assumes you have a real modem, and not some
brane-dead loosemodem. See the Modem-HOWTO for details.
