It is located on your GNOME menu under Internet- called "Dialup Configuration Tool". It is perhaps the simplest to use of the tools this HOWTO covers. When you start it up, it presents you with a screen that looks like this:</P ><DIV CLASS="MEDIAOBJECT" ><P ><IMG SRC="snapshot04.jpg"></P ></DIV ><P >Click "Next". If rp3 can't find a modem, it will try to confiugre one. Select your modem from the list and click next if this happens. You should see a screen asking for an "Account name" and a phone number. Enter your ISP's name and number in the appropriate fields. Click "Next".</P ><P >rp3 will then ask you for your username and password. Enter them in the appropriate fields and click "Next". Next rp3 will ask you if your ISP is named in a list. If it is, select it and click next. If not, select "Normal ISP" and click next.</P ><P >That's it! Click "Finish" to complete account creation. </P ><P >To initiate a connection, go to the GNOME menu again, and look under Internet for "RH PPP Dialer". Click on it. When asked for an interface, select "ppp0". This should bring up a small window. Right click on the window, then on "Connect to ppp0". Wait a few seconds, and you're online! To disconnect, right click on the window again, and then click "Disconnect". That's it.</P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="x314.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="x342.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >WvDial - A command-line pppd driver</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="tools.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >Linuxconf - Universal (almost) Linux PPP dialer</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
