I can't offer any helpful suggestions. I would like to confirm that Fedora 11 isn't fully supporting dial up. Does anyone know for sure? I have several old machines that I would like to use Fedora on but I will need dial-up support as well. Can anyone confirm this, or suggest a current Linux distro that does fully support dial-up connections?
Install wvdial and dialup should work, also kppp might need to be run as root, as it needs to modify ip addresses and add routes to the system.
