Poll: memory
How much memory in your computer do you have?
Adjust font size:
1. In terminal type "adsl-setup".
2. Type ppp0 to select the current config it already exist.
3. Type ISP username.
4. Type NIC name where the modem is connected (eg eth0, eth1).
5. Type 'no' to disable auto disconnect (users with limited bandwidth / usage account can try with a suitable timeout).
6. Now leave the DNS blank and press enter. It says "If you just press enter, I will assume you know what you are doing and not modify your DNS setup." We know, don't we? ;-)
7. Enter your dataone password.
8. Type 'yes' to enable all users to use the connection.
9. Select firewall (0-2). Try '0' for initial testing. You can modify that later easily.
10. Type 'no' so that it does not connect at boot time (For ALWAYS ON, type 'yes').
11. Review the Summary. If everything is ok, type 'y'.
12. Now comes the interesting part. Edit the file "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0".
13. Look for an entry "PEERDNS=no". Change the 'no' to 'yes'. Save the file. This is because dataone ISPs are capable of providing DNS server data to clients. Whatever the current DNS is, your computer will recieve it from the ISP.
Now to connect type in terminal "ifup ppp0".
In order to disconnect type "ifdown ppp0".
To view status type "ifconfig ppp0" or "adsl-status".
You can create aliases of the above commands.
This works with dynamic IP setting of your NIC and Modem too.

Now it may so happen that kinternet may not be installed, just check it up under applications>internet>Dial up>
There must be two things kppp and kinternet.
kppp will be surely present.
kppp is to be used if a dial up service is to set up using the ADSL modem. Here I have detailed the process of kinternet. If this can not be used successfully then kppp can be used following the almost same process only in that case user needs to enter the user name and password.
kinternet
[In case kinternet is not present, install it from the dvd/cd.]
After it's installed, kinternet will come under applications>internet>dial up>kinternet
Click kinternet.
A small plug will come in task bar.
Just single click that plug and that's it; you will be connected to internet within seconds.
