#1 put your cs 1.2 install disk back in
mount /dev/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/YellowDog/RPMS
rpm -ivh kppp*
as a user, get a terminal window going.
type kppp&
put in your root password. If you get messages about X,
su root
copy the .Xauthority file from your user login directory to /root's login
directory. exit and try kppp& again.
Use setup in kppp - explore all the options. one of them has a list of
potential modem ports.
Mine is /dev/cua0 its working. your milage may vary.
