[Klug-general] Dial up internet

[Mark Leese]

It is a while since I last did it for dial up on btinernet but it can be done. You need to use CHAP authentication, I can't remember quite how I did it but can remember that KPPP at the time couldn't handle the connection so I had to edit the /etc/ppp files. The main thing is to make sure that your pap-secrets and chap-secrets files are configured with the username at isp.com and password. Like I said it has been a while but I could probably figure it out again, most of the problems I had was due to the softmodem.

i need to set up a dial up, penny per minute internet connection for them. I've just tried to do this with BT, however their registration page dosen't work with firefox and the technical asked 'do you have XP or Vista'. So that was a no go. 

Does anyone have any recommendation for dial up internet?
