1) Download Knoppix <a  rel="nofollow" href="http://www.knopper.net/";>http://www.knopper.net/</a>
2) Burn Knoppix to CD (don't use the windows drag-n-drop burn, use something
that supports ISO images)
3) Boot  the Knoppix CD or DVD.
4) On your task bar, click the penguin, then &quot;Network / Internet&quot; and then
&quot;Modem Dialer&quot;
or
4) On the task bar, click the monitor (terminal). You can run either &quot;kppp&quot;
or &quot;wvdial&quot; from there.


... I absolutely agree with the previous assessmnent that &quot;dialup is
dialup&quot;. Though there are some different flavors of PPP authentication (PAP
vs CHAP vs MSCHAP), they are all pretty well documented, from what I recall.
I am pretty sure that wvdial is smart enough to &quot;figure out&quot; which
authentication scheme to use.

&gt;  I am sincerely asking for help.  I am a Linux newbie.   I currently have
&gt; win 2000 and want to raze my hard drive and install  Linux. I want to sign
&gt; up for BellSouth dialup, and use Linux exclusively as my o/s.  However
&gt; Bellsouth insists they don't support Linux.  Surely there is a way around
&gt; this.  Any suggestions and input on how to do this?  Thanks very much for
&gt; any help you can provide.
