[NTLUG:Discuss] ppp

[terry]

I did a RH8 install on a 800MHz celeron for my cousin and had the PCtel 
modem working okay at first but tried to implement another dialer, one 
 that wouldn't require root password, and was successful with that but 
had to use an external modem.  Now, he's loaded linux on another machine 
and is using the external modem on that one, so I'm back to trying to 
make the winmodem run again.    I can get it to dial up and log in to 
the isp but nothing more. Not sure but think it's just that it's not 
establishing the default route to the internet.  Either that, or it's 
the ppp daemon not working.

Any clues as to where to start?  Or how can I manually establish default 
route?
