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.

I use KPPP as a non root user. I did have to add "GATEWAYDEV=ppp0" to
the file /etc/sysconfig/network and nameservers to the /etc/resolv.conf
file.
