>rp3 is available on any RedHat system running RedHat 6.2 or later.
It is located on your GNOME menu under Internet- called
"Dialup Configuration Tool". It is perhaps the simplest to use
of the tools this HOWTO covers. When you start it up, it presents
you with a screen that looks like this:</P

>Click "Next". If rp3 can't find a modem, it will try to confiugre one.
Select your modem from the list and click next if this happens. You should
see a screen asking for an "Account name" and a phone number. Enter your
ISP's name and number in the appropriate fields. Click "Next".</P
><P
>rp3 will then ask you for your username and password. Enter them
in the appropriate fields and click "Next". Next rp3 will ask you
if your ISP is named in a list. If it is, select it and click
next. If not, select "Normal ISP" and click next.</P
><P
>That's it! Click "Finish" to complete account creation. </P
><P
>To initiate a connection, go to the GNOME menu again, and look under Internet
for "RH PPP Dialer". Click on it. When asked for an interface, select
"ppp0". This should bring up a small window. Right click on the window,
then on "Connect to ppp0". Wait a few seconds, and you're online! To
disconnect, right click on the window again, and then click "Disconnect".
That's it.</P
