Paul I think you have 2 possibilities to start a PPP connection in GNOME on FC1. The first one is to use System Tools -> Network Device Control. The second one is to use an applet on GNOME's panel. To add it, right-click on the panel and select Add to Panel -> Internet -> Modem Lights. Using this applet you can start/stop your PPP connection. I hope this helps. -- Julien Olivier <julo@xxxxxxxxxx>
