Greetings; I like Debian.
I have at home a computer I installed Debian from floppy. And I now connect to the internet via ppp with no problem. Unfortunately the software installation is kind of slow. So for a second computer I found T1/T2 access and after the floppy install I upgraded via the network. *Much* faster. But the machine is intended for dial-up use only. With perhaps another trip to the rj45 for additional major software upgrades. I first used wvdial to make the connection. After disconnecting the rj45. But I couldn't access the internet. I rebooted the computer with no network connection. Still no luck via modem. I then went through pppconfig/pon. Still no network response. Where should I look for the answer to my dilemma? Which is; how to make a network-installed Debian box access the internet via modem? And for that matter. I'd like to take my home machine in to the same rj45 for faster updates/upgrades. How can I make that ppp-installed Debian box access the intenet via nic? I'm not a dumb man. So if someone could point me in the right direction I'll be off and running!
