- By default, most Linux distributions come with text-based configuration files and console menu-based configuration programs for PPP dialup. Often, this simply isn't enough for most new users.
- Several GUI programs exist and can be used to configure your PPP dialup. One is X-isp, available from http://users.hol.gr/~dbouras/. You may still need to edit the pap-secrets file in /etc/ppp.
- An other is the Gnome PPP dialer. It comes with Gnome and can be used with no text file editing. Be sure to put a "*" in the "Remote address" field if it should be set dynamically.
- Here is a quick guide to setup the Gnome PPP program. First make sure the pppd program is suid root. Then, enter your user name, password and "*" in the remote IP field. Enter the DNS server, and set your IP address or set to dynamic. This should work for most Internet providers. Check the PPP-HOWTO for a complete overview of the PPP programs.
