Mr. Dennis:

I just sent a pathetic pleading letter from a confused newbie (me)to an
|
|
author of a PPP HOWTO begging for some clarification on how to setup the
|
|
necessary files to communicate with my ISP using RH5.2.

In yet another desperate attempt to find the truth, I ran across you
|
|
response to some other poor souls similar dilema dated Tuesday August 31 of
|
|
this year.

Finally, some answers I think I can understand. You'd most certainly expire
|
|
laughing if you knew what I've been through to get on the net. Only now,
|
|
after reading your article, do I understand that I must create a script that
|
|
runs, rather than just typing in the commands at some terminal window.

It is no wonder that so many users run as fast as they can in the opposite
|
|
direction. In a time when the Linux community is trying to be "picked up"
|
|
by the corporate world and become a viable "player", I find it amusing that
|
|
so many in that same community can't understand why they get repelled rather
|
|
than attracted. I myself spent the past three weeks trying to configure my
|
|
one computer to establish a link on the internet without any success. Oh
|
|
sure, I was ble to get minicom to dial my ISP...ooohhh, look out big blue!
|
|
Watch out Bill Gates! C'mon corporate world...jump on the Linux band
|
|
wagon...we're great! I was beginning to suspect that most new members of the
|
|
Linux community are bald from pulling their hair out...I know I was getting
|
|
that way.

And then along comes your informative, albeit wordy (like myself) article
|
|
that will hopefully clear some of the haze. It is refreshing to read an
|
|
article that doesn't assume we all grew up in Berkley with nothing better to
|
|
g <TT>/etc/host</TT> for
|
|
hours on end. Still some assumptions were made, but hopefully, this time
|
|
next week, I'll be sending you email on a Linux box, looking over at my
|
|
Windows box with a sly grin, rather than visa versa with a look of total
|
|
frustration.
