Re: [Sheflug] Question on ISPs

[Alex Hudson <nospam [at] york.ac.uk>]

insgen.cgi will contain all the information needed to configure kppp, for
example[1]. It will have the user name, password, dial-up number, and some
information on the name-servers and DNS servers. A lot of the dial-up
stuff will be detected automatically though (such as IP address, etc.), so
a lot of it you will be able to throw away. Have a bash, though, most of
it should be pretty obvious. Once you've got the number, a user name and
password you should at least be able to get a connection going ;)

Cheers,

Alex.

[1]: Of course, you can take the Turnbull approach, go through all the man
pages and configure it all by hand ;)))
