    Hello,

    I use fedora here at work and I recently installed it at home, and since
    I don't have a broadband connection, I had to use my winmodem, which was
    configured perfectly, the problem comes when I have to connect with kppp
    (also tried wvdial) and both said that they were timed out expecting
    pppd to come up. pppd said something about not being able to start
    because some protocol was not active (ip maybe?), then I just configured
    an ip address on my network card (which is not connected anywhere) and
    tried again connecting via dial up, which worked fine.

    Now, is there anyway of doing this without configuring the eth0
    interface and just start pppd normally?

    Thanks,

    Jose Aristides Tamayo
