If it works,
you're in luck. If it guesses wrong, you'll have to do things manually.
Be sure you have the following packages installed:
* ppp
* ppp-pam
* wvdial
When you install the wvdial package, you may be given the opportunity to
configure it. Otherwise, to set up wvdial, follow these simple steps:
Log in as root, using su (as described in an earlier chapter).
touch /etc/wvdial.conf
touch will create the following file if the file doesn't exist; the
configuration program requires an existing file.
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
This means you're creating a configuration file, /etc/wvdial.conf.
Answer any questions that appear on the screen. wvdialconf will also scan
for your modem and tell you which serial port it's on; you may want to
make a note of this for future reference.
Ethernet
Another popular way to connect to the Internet is via a LAN that uses
Ethernet. This gives you a high-speed local network in addition to
Internet access. Fortunately, though, you should have already configured
Ethernet networking during installation so there isn't much you need to do
now.
