To see if you already have it installed, try: rpm -qa | grep ppp it should tell something like: ppp-2.4.1-15 rp-pppoe-3.5-8 kpppload-1.04-48 If it is installed (ie you need both ppp-2.4.1-15 and rp-pppoe-3.5-8), just follow the instructions at: http://www.roaringpenguin.com/products/rp-pppoe/how-to-connect.txt to set things up. If you did not install it, you can find ppp and rp-pppoe on the 1st Fedora Core CD. Earl > > > 2.
