Easy choice, huh? Were you using DirecPC with Linux? I'd like to hear about that. I found a driver for for one-way but nothing to support two-way comm over the satellite (aside from buying a $1000 router). > Only problem is that I may need to change over to PPoE from DHCP. > I have a RH6.2 box.

You might need to manually edit /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-ppp0 and change the line PPPOE_TIMEOUT=30 to PPPOE_TIMEOUT=0. The setup script doesn't seem to do this (at least on 8.0, I don't recall having this problem on 7.2), otherwise the connection gets closed every 30 seconds which can be annoying ;) - -- Cliff Wells, Software Engineer Logiplex Corporation (www.logiplex.net) (503) 978-6726 x308 (800) 735-0555 x308 - -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.5.3 iQA/AwUBPiQ9k9PjBkUEZx5AEQItuQCeP9l/K9SEgzbUWL9EKBaNVOc259EAoLI7 SgLZI9skwMtnkH7KRnFbMQrd =4FNk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
