[SC.LUG] ISPs

[Jonathan Dwerryhouse]

Hi guys,

What exactly is meant by an ISP that can support Linux dial-up accounts? Is
it that most ISP's call centres won't talk people through setting up an
account?  Quite happily, C2 can provide dial-up services.

You're welcome to as many 0845 accounts at no charge, but we do static IP
accounts and dedicated port ISDN.

Yes, I suggest a google on freeserve pppd linux and there's a few
helpful pages there

I used techniques similar to:
http://www.roundabout.arachsys.com/freeserve.html

Though it might be easier with something like kppp once you've got the
correct info
