A word of advice: Recent versions of Red Hat Linux come with a program named wvdial, which automatically dials your selected ISP, logs you in and establishes a PPP connection, all without fiddling around with login scripts or other such tedious things. Do not use this program. That's right; chmod it -x right now, or even better, rpm -e wvdial. It happens to be so user-friendly that it passes some hardwired PPP options to pppd, which worked for its creator, but which can have odd results on other setups. Such as, say, making uploads clog up after a few packets. Not fun when you're trying to send a MP3 fragment you have been working on to a co-conspirator and licq keeps choking.
