Linux
Our DialzipTM dialup network is
compatible with all Linux operating systems. Linux is open source
and has several default dialers. Check your Linux documentation
for which dialer your system supports. If you do not know, try
the Universal Dialer or the command line dialer. Please note most Linux
dialers do not have dymanic DNS and therfore require DNS addresses.
Please contact us if we forget to provide you with these settings.
To setup your account properly you should be familiar with the
dialup protocols of your operating system.
Setup for Linux
using the WvDIAL Command Line Dialer:
WvDial is a command-line PPP
system. Since its two components wvdialconf and wvdial must be
run as root (which means you must have ownership of the machine you are
running it on). Therefore, this option is most likely effective when
you run or lease your own Linux machine (the majority of you).
1.) From the command line, run wvdialconf
newconffile. It will generate a config file located at
/etc/wvdial.conf and will also look at your COMM ports at the same time
to detect your available modems.
[root@blah /root]# wvdialconf newconffile Scanning your serial ports for a modem.

2.) If a modem was not detected
check that your modem is properly installed and your jack is properly
plugged in. The system will only be able to detect a modem if you
have it attatched to the phone line.
3.) Now edit your /etc/wvdial.conf
file to reflect the primary phone number you will use to dial into our
service and the username and password we provided. Open up
/etc/wvdial.conf in any text editor like pico.

4.) Make sure to remove the three ; marks.
5.) You should be all set.
6.) To connect to us run wvdial from
the command line. Your Linux box should dial out and connect to
us.
7.) If you have any problems try
the wvdial homepage.
The wvdial system may have updates or other hints listed there.
