RedHat 6.0 - ppp dial-out

[killianRed]

I'm running RedHat 6.0 and would like to dial from my P/C into one of our UNIX systems at work. I have collected several sets of info on &quot;how-to&quot;, each seems to be different. Anyone have any info that actually works??<br>
<br>
Also - modem has no sound or it is not dialing at all. Don't know quite yet. Still playing with this ppp dial-out. <br>
<br>
The number I am trying to dial supports PPP.

Is the modem a Winmodem? If that is true then it will not work with Linux.

The How-To's recommend testing your setup<br>
with minicom before trying ppp at all.<br>
<br>
Are you getting sensible response from mincom?<br>

My modem is a Winmodem. I will try an external modem. Thanks for the tip.
