This will allow you to set up a modem and create the appropriate /etc/sysconfig files, as well as a wvdial.conf file. Then if you name your connections joe you start it with ifup joe and stop it with ifdown joe. To aid in this starting and stopping of the connection place a applet called modem lights on your lower panel. Left clicking on it will allow you to connect and disconnect and right clicking on it will allow you to set the preferences. This is all for FC3 but the RedHat Network Configuration and modem lights exist in all fedoras. Try it and ask if more questions arise. -- ======================================================================= Without followers, evil cannot spread. -- Spock, "And The Children Shall Lead", stardate 5029.5 ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University One Trinity Place.
